Known as “America’s Stonehenge,” Coral Castle serves as the bizarre masterpiece of diminutive Latvian immigrant Ed Leedskalnin (1887-1951), who somehow managed to procure and sculpt more than 1,100 tons of coral rock over a 28-year period into a “fantasy world carved out of stone” using only homemade tools. Originally dubbed “Rock Gate Park,” Coral Castle was reportedly built by Leedskalnin, who stood just 5 feet tall and weighed 100 pounds, as a monument to lost love (he was jilted by his fiancée in Latvia before heading to the United States). Billed as “A Sculpture Garden and Tribute to Los Love,” Coral Castle is located at 28655 South Dixie Highway in Homestead. By the way, Coral Castle was featured in an episode of In Search Of … (Season 5, Episode 16) titled “The Castle of Secrets” that first aired on January 24, 1981.
