"A bit of a trip from downtown, Coral Castle in Homestead was hand-built over 28 years by Latvian-born Ed Leedskalnin as a monument to a lover who canceled their wedding; he single-handedly hand-carved 1,1100 tons of coral rock and later moved the pieces to the current site, and I found the story and sculptures well worth the visit (28655 South Dixie Highway, open Thurs–Sun 9am–6pm, admission $18 USD)." - Matthew Kepnes
