    Crescent Moon and Planets. Coral Castle. Homestead, FL
    By José Soriano

    The Coral Castle was built by one man, working alone. That man was Ed Leedskalnin, a 5 feet tall and 100 pounds Latvian immigrant who scorned by the love of his life, without any help and using only simple tools excavated, carved and moved tons of coral rock to build a monument to his "Sweet Sixteen". It took him 20 years to build, from 1920 to 1940.
    On the east wall are the planets Mars and Saturn, and the "Crescent [Moon] of the East" which weighs over 23 tons.
