One of the most interesting places in western North Carolina is the crumbling old Spanish castle near the town of Black Mountain. It was built by Raphael Guastavino, a tile-maker for the Biltmore estate and the architect for the dome of St. Lawrence Catholic Church in Asheville, for his mistress Frances Guastavino.
