The Rock Gate (now known as Coral Castle) in Florida was built between 1923 and 1951 by Edward Leedskalnin. [1, 2] Construction Timeline
- 1922–1923: Leedskalnin bought land in Florida City, Florida, and started building the structure under the original name Rock Gate.
- 1936–1939: He moved the entire 1,100-ton castle 10 miles north to its current location in Homestead, Florida, because he wanted more privacy.
- 1951: He finished and maintained the site until his death. [1, 2, 3]
