Hi all;

Today in Spain, the Virxe da Barca sanctuary has been destroyed by lighting.[1][2][3] I have done a quick search in the Bienes de Interés Cultural catalogue[4] but I don't see it. Anyway it was a notable monument in the region.

I have started an article in English Wikipedia[5], and it existed in Galician from August.[6] Some images are available in Commons.[7]

Just to remember that Wiki Loves Monuments mission is important. And that there is a deadline.[8]

Regards,
emijrp
