Casa Loma took three years and $3.5 million to build in the first years of the 20th century. Its builder, Sir Henry Pellatt, filled Casa Loma with artwork from Canada and around the world. Casa Loma stood as a monument to its creator - it surpassed any other private home in Canada. With its soaring battlements and secret passageways, it paid homage to the castles and knights of days gone by.
