"Whoever penned that original listicle about the new seven wonders of the world clearly never made their way to South Florida. If they had, Coral Castle would surely have made the list. Here you’ll find 1,000 tons of limestone carved into everything — water fountains, tables, chairs, moons, and a stone swinging gate. The whole thing was allegedly built by one man, Ed Leedskalnin, who spent 28 years constructing it until he died in 1951. The “castle” has been open since 1923 as a tourist attraction, and nobody has quite figured out how Leedskalnin, who was a small person, did it all himself, making it one of the great engineering marvels of the 20th century." - MATADOR_NETWORK
