PHOTOGRAPHY and WORDS BY MARIANO SAYNO
Fantasy World was meant to be the largest and most magnificent theme park in the country, but it never opened as planned. Over time, it has become known as an abandoned castle due to its incomplete state. Located in Lemery, Batangas, it is believed that the owner faced challenges that forced the park to close. Consequently, various parts of the park have fallen into ruins and decayed due to neglect.The castle walls started to peel and deteriorate, but for many tourists and travelers, it presented an opportunity for photo opportunities and as a backdrop for movies.
In light of these opportunities, the management decided to maintain Fantasy World in its current status and continue welcoming visitors.
As I approached Fantasy World, the tower of the castle caught my eye. Climbing up to its viewing deck offered a breathtaking panorama that stretched across Batangas, Quezon, and Laguna provinces. From there, I could appreciate the stunning view of Taal Lake, its volcano, and the surrounding towns.

Exploring the park, I delighted in capturing photos by the whimsical fountain and exploring the vast garden. Connected by a hanging bridge, two tree houses invited tourists to cross between them, providing a peaceful space for photos or simply a leisurely stroll.
