Tovrea Castle is a historic structure and landmark visible to drivers on Arizona State Route 202. Originally conceived in 1928 as a centerpiece for a resort, it was later used a private residence by the Tovrea family, who owned the Phoenix Stockyards which once were adjacent to the property. The rococo style building is a Phoenix Point of Pride, constructed in a unique three-tier fashion which has resemblance to a traditional multilayered wedding cake. It is beautifully lit in the evenings. The surrounding estate has over 5000 individual cacti in over 100 different varieties.
