Ona - Solomons Castle

Hidden in the lush Florida woodlands is one man's dream of paradise. A visit to Solomon's Castle may be the most unique experince of your life. The home, galleries and workshop of internationally renowned artist Howard Solomon (Sculptor, painter, author, builder of dreams, your host) are open to the public.

Decorated with more than 80 interpretive stained glass windows and countless metal sculptures the castle is a day-long delight.
Take the tour! Relax under the oaks along picturesque Horse Creek. Enjoy a homemade meal at the Boat-in-the-Moat Restaurant.

It took awhile before the gators in the moat acquired the company of a creation bigger than themselves as company. The three masted monster is Solomon’s creation and houses the finest restaurant in Ona, Florida. Unique for its design and location the Boat-in-the-Moat Restaurant features menus as popular with the locals as with the daily busloads of tourists.

“Lily Life House” is our lighthouse by the moat complete with stained glass windows and adjacent pavilion. Our latest addition to the castle grounds is for foundering sailors and wayward cowboys.
