Coral Castle, Miami Postcard

Coral Castle is an oolite limestone structure created by the Latvian-American eccentric Edward Leedskalnin (1887–1951). It comprises numerous large stones, each weighing several tons, sculpted into a variety of shapes, including slab walls, tables, chairs, a crescent moon, a water fountain and a sundial. Billy Idol's Sweet Sixteen was written about this man and the video was shot there too. Even though Coral Castle is noted for the claim that it was built single-handedly by Leedskalnin using reverse magnetism or supernatural abilities, photographs and eyewitness accounts evidence that he used pulleys and other simple tools.
