Always wanted a look inside that wedding-cake looking stucco building on top of the hill between Phoenix and Tempe? Now’s your chance.
Tickets to tour the Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights in Phoenix from January through May of 2018 are now on sale, and expected to sell out quickly.
The two-hour tours of the four-story, 5,000-square-foot castle, located at 5025 E. Van Buren St., also include the 44-acre grounds and cactus gardens.
The tickets are $15 per person. Children under age 2 are free.
The historical landmark was the dream of Alessio Carraro, an Italian immigrant who made his fortune in San Francisco and moved to Arizona in 1928 with plans to build a resort and housing development.
