Why you should go…

Coral Castle is an oolite limestone structure built near Homestead, Florida by Latvian American Edward Leedskalnin between 1923 and 1951. He quarried, carved and moved more than 1,100 tons of stone largely by himself using methods that have never been fully explained. The site, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, includes a nine-ton revolving gate and numerous carved stone furniture pieces. Admission includes a 30-minute documentary and a guided tour.
