Coral Castle, United States

In the city of Homestead, which is located in the state of Florida, is the unique coral castle (Coral Castle). This is the name of the Steingarten, which can be described as a true worldwide one. The impressively large complex of statues, whose total weight is 1 100 tons, was built manually and admired millions of people from all over the world for many years. The author of this unique Steingartens is Ed Leedskalnin, the immigrant from Latvia, who caused the unhappy love for this heroic act.

During a walk through the Steingarten one can see some romantic sculptures, including the huge heart-shaped table. The crescent, erected on the pedestal, which always points exactly to the Nordstern, is equally interesting. The largest building of the complex is the high square tower, the weight of which is 243 tons. The coral stones served as the main construction material in the sculpture direction. The weight of some blocks reaches a few tons.

The author began to build the coral lock in 1923 and built it continuously until death. The fact that the beautiful steaming was built by a person without using any special technique seems simply unbelievable. With respect to the fact that Ed Leedskalnin was a rather delicate man, the phenomenon of coral lock seems to be inexplicable. The man was only 152 cm tall, and his weight was 45 kg.
