Toronto, the
most populous city in Ontario, Canada is famous for its tourist attractions. In
fact, Toronto attractions are
responsible for most of its tourism. This city has a lot to offer. For example,
let us take the Casa Loma. The Casa Loma is a castle of the Gothic Revival
style, located on Austin Terrace, Ontario Canada. Some people believe it to be
the best of Toronto attractions, due
to its medieval feel. Constructed between 1911
and 1914 it was originally established as a mansion for Sir Henry
Pellatt, a famous industrialist and soldier of impeccable taste. His romantic
nature urged him to hire the renowned architect E. J. Lennox to fulfil his
lifelong dream, his own castle.
Casa Loma, the
very impressive Toronto attraction
is now a museum, open daily in the summers. Its main attraction is the Great
Hall, which has a ceiling at about 60 feet above the ground. The gardens are
tended to by the Garden Club of Toronto
and are truly a remarkable feature of the castle. The gardens have sculptures,
fountains, wild shrubbery and exotic grasses. This combined with the woody
suburbs provide an amazing view. Anyone visiting the castle for the first time
has his breath taken away by the sheer beauty of the gardens. The castle also
has a conservatory, a library, a dining room, an oak room, and a billiards
room. Used for formal occasions, the Oak Room is a feast for the eyes. It is
one of the best examples of fine Italian craftsmanship. As of 2014, the castle
also has a vintage cars exhibition. This exhibition showcases classic cars from
the 19th century, including Ford Model T and Maxwell Model Q.
Reaching the Toronto attraction; Casa Loma is also very easy
since it is accessible via the Toronto subway. Abundant parking is also
available if you prefer driving.
