The Mystery of the Building of Coral Castle

How did one man turn enormous blocks of Florida limestone into an extraordinary home and sculpture garden? Beginning in 1923, Edward Leedskalnin spent decades creating the place now known as Coral Castle. His achievement inspired stories of lost love, secret knowledge and stones lifted by mysterious forces, but the surviving evidence tells a more revealing story. This episode follows the original construction, the remarkable move to a second property, the growth of the legend and the investigations that examined his tools, photographs and famous revolving gate. Discover what ordinary engineering can explain, where the historical record runs out and why understanding the machinery makes Leedskalnin's accomplishment no less impressive.
