Coral Castle
28655 South Dixie Highway
Homestead, FL 33033
305-248-6345
|
What exactly was the source of inspiration that drove this 100lb, 5' tall man for 28 years to carve a Coral Castle from the ground up using nothing but home made tools from junk parts. Unrequited love? Ancient sciences that defy gravity, or just sheer, raw human determination? The Coral Castle is an everlasting mystery to those who explore it.

Far away in Spain, a long time ago, stood an Ancient
Monastary. It was home to cloistered monks and nuns of the

Florida. It was rebuilt and now can be visited and enjoyed.
