Coral Castle
Overview
Nestled between the Florida Keys and Miami is the Coral Castle. The Coral Castle was singlehandedly built by Edward Leedskalnin, moving and carving over 1100 tons of rock without human assistance to create what is often referred to as the Stonehenge of America. This labor of love was created as a tribute to a Ed’s lost love, Agnes, who cancelled their wedding just one day before the ceremony. Scholars, engineers, and scientists to this day are unable to figure out how a five foot tall, 100 pound man could create such monumental sculptures. The museum has been open since 1923 and today they offer audio and guided tours of the museum.
