On the night before Ed Leedskalnin's wedding in the early 1900s,

his bride-to-be and the love of his life called off their engagement. Devastated, Leedskalnin resolved to move to the United States by himself and build his love a mansion that might make her fall back in love with him. And so in 1923, he purchased a tract of land in Florida City and began building a monolithic palace out of stony coral. Over the next 20 years, Leedskalnin singlehandedly carved and stacked 1,100 tons of stone to create the magnificent Coral Castle that still stands today — and nobody knows exactly how he did it.
