Looking southeast towards Casa Loma, located at 1 Austin Terrace in the aptly named Casa Loma neighbourhood of Toronto.
Construction began on the magnificent castle in 1910 and was completed in 1913. It stands as a testament to the grandeur and splendour of a bygone era. The castle was built by 300 skilled workers who worked to create a 200,000-square-foot mansion at a cost of $3.5 million.
