    Toronto's Castle

    I am not sure if some of you know that Toronto has a castle. Casa Loma was the home of Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, construction was begun in 1911. Sir Henry a prominent Toronto financier, industrialist and Military man, engaged architect E.J. Lennox to help him realize a life long dream-the creation of a medieval castle overlooking Toronto.
    It took 300 men nearly 3 years to complete and cost $3,500,000 at the time.
    Casa Loma is now owned by the city of Toronto, and run by the Kiwanis Club.

    So onto the pictures

    The view from the parking lot

    No, I never knew Toronto had a castle, thanks for posting the pics.
    More modern than Scotland's castles, but still very impressive.
