A historical piece that fell, one part, on the roof of the communion chapel and another on a vehicle parked in the Plaza Celestino Pons causing various damages.
From that moment and for security, the Plaza was closed to traffic to avoid falling debris again. After the strong storm suffered from wind and rain, in the afternoon yesterday Tuesday, Firefighters of the Provincial Consortium came with a telescopic ladder truck to remove the loose damaged elements that were left on this roof and check the space occupied by the clock in the tower of the bell tower to avoid risks.
