León have La Casa de los Botines. It is a modernist building by the great Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. He designed a modernist building with a Medieval look, which is very unique, with a stylized tower at each end of the building. It was building in just 10 months; this fact caused huge rumors about the fragility of the building. Gaudí, was very angry. He asked for a deep technical report with the aim to finish with the bad reputation of the building.
