Solomon's Castle | Friday February 13, 2026
Discover one of the Florida’s most unique gems tucked away in the woods. Solomon’s Castle is hand-built medieval castle complete with a moat.
The sculptor Howard Solomon started building the castle in 1974 out of aluminum printing plates thrown out by the local newspaper. Years later, the ever-evolving, gleaming three-story-high castle covers 12,000 sq. feet.
Tour the Castle, walk the beautiful nature trails and enjoy a delightful lunch at the Boat in the Moat Restaurant.
