Coral Castle

amazing what one little man could do waaaaaaaaaay back then.
You can visit the website at http://coralcastle.com/freqaq.html
but like the site says "Coral Castle is on the National Register of historic places and is truly an amazing place to visit. The story behind the castle is that Edward Leedskalnin, out of obsessed love for a young girl, built this coral monument for her. The question remains, how could he have carved and moved over 1100 tons of rock without any human assistance? Did he know any secrets? Coral Castle has baffled scientists, engineers and scholars since its opening in 1923."

and ironically the love of his life was invited but never went there!

Here are some pics from our recent visit there including a heart shaped coral table, moons and water fountains, desk and more.
