Coral castle

I just read about this rockin' building that I hope I get to visit the next time I'm in Florida.
The entire castle complex, which looks like a combination fortress and ancient temple, was constructed of huge coral blocks, many of which exceed five tons. Leedskalnin built the castle and everything in it by himself over 26 years -- using tools he made from scavenged junkyard parts.
Read the whole Wired News article. It's got mystery, Egyptians, unrequited love and a photo gallery. What more does anyone need?
