Only when you step into the lavish Casa Loma can you really witness the true beauty of this castle. Constructed in 1911, the Casa Loma is now one of the most popular tourist attractions in all of Canada.
Highlighted by a vast hall featuring a 60' ceiling, Casa Loma will not only teach you but show you what royal life was like in the early 20th century. I am certain that you will be awe-struck when you see the washrooms, the kitchen and the old furniture, many of them totally original and un refurbished.
An elegant library, an intriguing billiard room and even a few secret doorways reside on the main floor.
On the second floor rest several bedrooms that will really open your eyes to the magnificent architecture in this structure. Specifically, take a look at the sophisticated designs on all of the fabrics; just another small thing that makes Casa Loma such a wonderous place.
Going up one level is an unbelievable showcase of original rifles and a display of a servant's lifestyle with their room. Of course, what is a castle without towers? There are two towers available to you in Casa Loma, the Scottish Tower and the Norman Tower. Both of these provide breathtaking views of enormous chunks of Toronto.
But one place you must visit are the always entertaining basement. These dark, mysterious rooms include a huge never-finished swimming pool, what was to be a shooting range as well as unmade bowling alleys. And if you think your wine collection is large, then take a look at this part: Casa Loma also includes a wine cellar that held a whopping 1800 bottles of wine and champagne.
This majestic castle is the one-stop shop for sightseeing in Toronto. So if Casa Loma sounds like an attraction that you'd like here's some more info:
