A number of gleaming self-built towers made from beer cans and other refuse.

Built by Donald "Cano" Espinoza, a Native American Vietnam vet, whose main influences for the Castle are "Vitamin Mary Jane" and Jesus, it is a wonder to behold. Built largely out of beer cans and other metal refuse, for Espinoza it serves as a thanks for having his life spared during the war. Cano's castle is actually four separate structures. "The king", "the queen", "the palace" and "the rook". The four story "king" house, covered in beer cans and hubcaps gleaming in the sunlight, is by far the crowning architectural achievement.
