Craziest Places in the Dominican Republic: Castillo Mundo King, Sosua

Craziest Places in the Dominican Republic: Castillo Mundo King, Sosua

What do you get when a German architect fascinated with space and aliens builds a mansion on a hilltop in Sosua, the Dominican Republic? Castillo Mundo King is what. We visited this local attraction, one of the most ridiculous places we’ve been during our travels, to see this awe-inspiring open-air mansion that features dead ends, Haitian wood carvings, spaceships and gorgeous rooftop views of the sea.
