DESCRIPTION
In Florida there is a miracle castle, with amazing stone architecture. It is called the Coral Castle, located in Homestead.
 
The architectural ensemble, made of limestone of coral reefs, is a unique structure. The castle is an incredible creation, made by a great master, amazing imagination. According to the legend, unhappy love became the reason for creating an amazing complex.
 
Secrets of the structure are not disclosed until now. Many guesses exist about the great mason who created such a big miracle. And we do have only one proof: Edward Lidskalnins did not use a car. It remains a mystery how the master moved multi-ton blocks, by what mechanism they raised them.
 
The American Engineering Society conducted all sorts of experiments, but the secret was never disclosed.
 
Coral Castle is a historical landmark of America, a marvel of engineering thought. The castle is built of megaliths, weighing 1,100 tons, the complex includes statues of huge sizes. This miracle-building was built by Edward Lidskalnins. In America, the Latvian emigrant arrived in the early 20-ies. The master built this complex one by hand, was physically weak, had a height of 152 cm and a weight of 45 kg.
 
The tallest building of the castle, built by a bricklayer - the Tower, where the workshops were located. The complex of buildings, where there were living quarters - is called "Obelisk", its height reaches 12 meters, weighing up to 30 tons. Required in the home well, bath, for leisure - very comfortable rocking chairs and chairs "for reading" - built in the castle.
