Vandals smashed the stained glass Gaudi
Vandals attacked the Colony Güell that near Barcelona, and broke two stained glass made by designs by Antonio Gaudi, writes El Pais.
This happened on the night from 13 to 14 June; vandals saw pastor in the colonies Guell. According to him, five masked men initially tried to enter the crypt of the church through the door. They kicked the massive oak door, also made the project a Catalan architect, but it did not budge. Then, according to the priest, the hooligans began throwing stones at stained glass windows, as well as lemons - only about 60 pieces.
In recent days there have been several attacks on the Colony Güell. Attackers have already tried to set fire to the door of the house the priest, and get a local restaurant (when the alarm went off, they fled, taking nothing). What are the causes of these attacks is unknown.
Gaudi built the church in the Colony Güell, the workers' settlement, south of the city, for many years, with the end of XIX century to the early 1910's. Nevertheless, he finished only the crypt - the space under the church. In 2000 was carried out restoration and reconstruction of unfinished buildings, perceived ambiguously. /Lenta.ru
