Antonito is a very small town that is just north of the New Mexico border. It only has about 700 residents. As you might imagine, Cano's Castle stands out in this tiny town.

Cano's Castle was built singlehandedly by Dominic "Cano" Espinoza.

For many years, Cano lived in a house next to the castle, but it burned in a fire in January 2022. Today, he still lives on the property, though, in an off-grid trailer. He raises goats, geese, and sheep on his property as well.
He's a private man, but if you do get the chance to talk to him, he won't take credit for building the castle. He'll tell you that God built it.

The castle is made from found objects. Aluminum from beer cans is one of the primary materials you can see used in it, but you'll also see a lot of hubcaps and other metal mixed in as well.
