Brazil’s disaster. The church vault fell on the gathered tourists
Preliminary findings suggest that the tragedy was a crack in several wooden ceiling beams in the heart of the church. Historians cited by local media have denounced the service for protecting monuments that have been ignoring temples in recent years.

However, British media reported that the church’s religion had been warned by the National Institute of Historical Heritage about the fact that it saw a “swelling” in the structure of the building. Apparently he notified the experts on Monday, but the technician was only planned on Thursday.
Next, local firefighters reported in an interview with the media. There was already a church renovation project. However, there was no indication that the location had to be closed. It was truly an unexpected event and a tragedy.
Built at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries, Francis of the Holy Church of Assisi is one of the city’s largest tourist attractions. The church is located in part of the historic centre of Salvador. This is a facility recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
