Casa Loma (improper Spanish for "Hill House") is a Gothic Revival castle-style mansion and garden in midtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that is now a historic house museum and landmark. It was constructed from 1911 to 1914 as a residence for financier Sir Henry Pellatt. The architect was E. J. Lennox,^[1] who designed several other city landmarks. Casa Loma sits at an elevation of 140 metres (460 ft) above sea level,^[2] 66 metres (217 ft) above Lake Ontario.

Due to its unique architectural character in Toronto, Casa Loma has been a popular filming location for movies and television. It is also a popular venue for wedding ceremonies,^[3] and Casa Loma can be rented in the evenings after the museum closes to the public.
