Toronto is the most populous city in Canada and the capital city of the Canadian province of Ontario. With a recorded population of 2 794 356 in 2021, it is the fourth-most populous city in North America. The city is the anchor of the Golden Horseshoe, an urban agglomeration of 9 765 188 people (as of 2021) surrounding the western end of Lake Ontario, while the Greater Toronto Area proper had a 2021 population of 6 712 341. Toronto is an international centre of business, finance, arts, sports and culture, and is one of the most multicultural and cosmopolitan cities in the world.
Toronto is a prominent centre for music, theatre, motion picture production and television production. It is also home to the headquarters of Canada's major national broadcast networks and media outlets. Its varied cultural institutions, which include numerous museums and galleries, festivals and public events, entertainment districts, national historic sites and sports activities, attract over 43 million tourists each year. Toronto is known for its many skyscrapers and high-rise buildings, in particular the tallest free-standing structure on land outside of Asia, the CN Tower.
Casa Loma (Spanish for "house on the hill") is a castle-like mansion in Toronto, Canada, which was built as a residence by Sir Henry Pellatt between 1911 and 1914 for around 3.5 million Canadian dollars.
Pellatt, who had made a fortune from mines, insurance, land and power stations, commissioned the Canadian architect E. J. Lennox to design Casa Loma. Construction work began in 1911 and 300 construction workers were involved in the project.
The castle was completed in 1914; with its 98 rooms, it was the largest private residence in North America at the time. Amenities included a lift, an oven large enough to roast an ox, two vertical passages for pipe organs, central heating, two secret passages to Pellatt's office on the ground floor and three bowling alleys.
The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) is a museum of culture, art and natural history in Toronto, the capital of the Canadian province of Ontario. It is the largest museum in the country and one of the largest museums in North America. It has an important ethnological collection of the world's cultures. The ROM also houses art exhibitions as well as palaeontological, natural history, astronomical, geological, historical and zoological exhibitions. The museum is particularly well known for its exhibitions on the indigenous peoples of North America and the associated history of Canada. The museum offers six million exhibits and has more than one million visitors annually.
