Casa Loma: Sightseeing Tours of Toronto's Past

Perched at the highest point in Toronto, this medieval-styled castle, built in 1914, overlooks the city's downtown area. Designed by the famous E. J. Lennox, this "house on a hill" was once the home of the prominent financier, Sir Henry Pellatt. This 98-roomed castle comes complete with gargoyles galore and at least two secret passages. Lavish gardens filled with fountains and sculptures are scattered throughout this 200,000 square foot estate. Don't be surprised if you recognize Casa Loma, as it has appeared in many feature films and television shows. There are also self-guided tours available of the castle in both English and French, and the building serves as a unique venue for special events.
