This was the last full day in Toronto which was again spent at leisure. A popular attraction to visit in Toronto is Casa Loma, one of Toronto’s most remarkable landmarks. This castle was built between 1911 and 1914 and is
the product of Sir Henry Pellatt’s boyhood dream. This medieval
17th century style castle has stately towers, soaring battlements,
secret passageways, and sweeping terraces, and is easily accessible
from Downtown Toronto. |
