This is a lesser-known destination in Miami. However, it is well worth checking out. One of the many wonders of the world, akin to the Egyptian pyramids, lies Miami’s Coral Castle.

Created by a hopeless romantic at the beginning of the 1900s, Coral Castle is an archaeological treasure and mystery. Architects still wonder how this incredible castle was built, made entirely out of coral and oolite with no help from machines.

This tiny man, who weighed around 100 pounds, is famous for unlocking the secret to how the pyramids were built when he created this castle!

An absolute marvel to behold, this coral castle is entirely made of incredible rock formations, carved limestone, and enormous stones set atop one another without the use of mortar!

While no one witnessed the creation of this castle, as the castle was built in secrecy until revealed to the public in the 1950s, the architect claims that he formed the structure through reverse magnetism.

One of the many reasons this castle is an absolute wonder is that most of the arranged stones weigh around 14 tons, which is an insane amount of weight for one man to move without any machinery or equipment.

This is definitely a one-of-a-kind experience that is far out of the ordinary when it comes to tourist destinations in Miami. In fact, this is a local secret that most tourists don’t know about.
