A Spaniard found a monument in the wall of his own house and received a million dollars for it.
"Leon the Spaniard, while renovating a house, discovered behind the walls the facade of a 500-year-old Renaissance church. He bought the house in 2016, and when dismantling the walls, he and his father found a huge facade about 15 meters wide and about 11 meters high.
After the discovery, a long-term dispute began with the authorities regarding compensation under the Spanish Historical Heritage Law. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the owner's right to payment - compensation of more than a million dollars. Leon is negotiating with the city council to open the facade to the public, he says that now the main thing is to quickly show the world a monument that has been hidden from view for almost 6 centuries.
