Urgent Repairs Needed to Save Historic Church in Galicia

Campo Lameiro Church in Galicia Faces Ruin Due to Water Damage The historic church of Campo Lameiro, Galicia, is facing potential ruin due to severe water damage and humidity. A recent report by G24 Noticias highlights the alarming state of the building, with water seeping through the dilapidated roof and damaging the church's interior, including historic paintings. "It's been like this for years," stated Pilar Garcia, the church bell-ringer. "Soon, everything will fall apart." The sacristan echoed these concerns, explaining that despite visits from regional and church authorities, a solution is yet to be found. The roof, a key area of concern, is visibly damaged, with vegetation growing on its surface, contributing to the problem. The water damage has even reached the electrical panel, raising safety concerns. The church, which features an apse dating back to the 12th century, requires complete roof restoration. The parish lacks the funds for such extensive repairs, and the priest is actively seeking financial assistance. The situation underscores the urgent need for preservation efforts to protect this valuable piece of Galicia's heritage.
