Amigo's Castle Lightning Ridge

Amigo's Castle is perhaps the most emblematic of the town's unusual art spaces. This 15-metre-tall structure, based on Italian ruins, was hand-built with ironstone boulders in the 1980s. It's home to a small gallery, underground cellars, a corner turret and no roof. While the grounds surrounding the castle contain all sorts of tongue-in-cheek oddities.
