No visit to southeast Florida is complete without a trip to the Coral Castle. Coral Castle has baffled scientists, engineers and scholars since its opening in 1923. Coral Castle has been featured in many magazines and on television on 'In Search Of', 'Ripley's Believe It Or Not' and 'That's Incredible'.

Located in Homestead Florida, the Coral Castle is one of the great mysteries of the world. How could one man, working alone, cut, move and shape tons of coral stones? Seventy thousand visitors each year pay admission to tour the Coral Castle, yet today no one knows how the work was done. Ed Leedskalnin, the genius behind this wonder, claimed to have uncovered the secrets behind the construction of the Pyramids, the secret technologies of Atlantis. This self taught genius was a Latvian immigrant with a fourth grade education, yet his inventions confound modern science. Many continue to speculate that Ed discovered ancient technologies that could be applied today to give the world unlimited energy.

For example, once there was a nine-ton gate on a pivot which could be moved with a push of one finger, but this gate has fallen into disrepair. The tools and magnetic devices which Ed used in his construction have fallen into disrepair, and are only vaguely comprehended by the present staff. Many informed denizens speculate that Ed chose the site for his construction because of the strength of the Earth's natural magnetic ley lines. The tools Ed used to build the Castle where scavenged from automotive junkyards. They are rusting away.
