> # Etymology > Neither part of the monument's name is correct. ... was not a "castle" in the traditional sense, but instead may have functioned more like a "prehistoric high rise apartment complex".[8] My understanding was always that aside from vanity castles like Craigdarroch (https://thecastle.ca) there aren't castles in North America because they're only practical in a pre-cannon world | ||||||||

There's at least a couple on the map, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chapultepec_Castle That one you linked definitely merits inclsion, tho. Had never heard of it. Thanks. Edit: Or maybe not: apparently it's not considered a castle, despite the name. | ||||||||

I'm moderately disappointed that Fort Point in San Francisco isn't listed. Things like Fort Dearborn in Chicago are listed, but all that remains is markers of the perimeter... while Fort Point is a structure that you can visit and walk around. | ||||||||
