Barcelona, July 20.
The Cathedral of Barcelona, one of the jewels of Medæval Art, was severely, damaged during an air-raid on the city today, when a bomb scored a direct hit on the edifice, and penetrated several vaults, causing them to collapse.
The choirs and pews of the most delicate Gothic workmanship as well as priceless ancient sculptures were severely damaged.
Several windows, decorated with unique paintings were broken.
New measures have been taken by the Republican authorities to protect the art treasures threatened by the present warfare.—Havas.
