Medieval times were long before The Glen Eyrie Castle was built in Colorado Springs by its founding father in the 1800s. The famous city landmark and attraction boasts 67-rooms with 24 fireplaces with a primitive intercom system and chimneys designed to hold smoke until the wind blew the proper direction away from the valley. Today it is host to tours and Christian conferences and retreats.
The Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center is home to three important cultural institutions: an art museum, a theater company and an art school. Visitors can enjoy seeing permanent and traveling modern art collections, musical and non-musical original plays, and taking community-based art classes.
