An extraordinary personal project

Coral Castle is a museum and sculpture garden built by Latvian immigrant Edward Leedskalnin. Its monumental stone forms turn a visit into a series of questions about craftsmanship, patience and what one person can create.

Look beyond the legends

The site has inspired plenty of stories. The sculptures themselves are reason enough to visit: spend time examining their shapes and arrangement, and take a guided tour for the museum’s account of their creator.
