.
In Villahizán of Treviño (Burgos), was a Roman temple in the middle of the twelfth century, dedicated to St. Martin. It was renovated during the XVIth century, to make it a great building, leaving only its Romanesque apse and some other old element embedded in the new construction. Persisted as a neighborhood parish until 1875, when the pastor died, and ownership passed to another temple site, Santa Maria, the end of XII.
.
The mammoth building, which had become the Roman temple, experienced a decline for a hundred golden three years. From the sixties started to show a progressive deterioration of its structure, and for 1974 and is cited as a temple in ruins. "
.
No action was taken when the cracks increased in size the "responsible" are merely terms of value out there and move it to the parish. Then let the issue fall by their weight. And what if he fell, the temple came under in 1988.
.
is part of the tower collapsed and with it, dragged the vaults of the nave, some columns, the apse and the northern part of the Romanesque apse. The rest remained in precarious balance, full of dangerous crevasses and falling.
.
have spent twenty years and, for all other, has placed a wire mesh fence around the apse wall fell, that naughty lads and tourists curious not come into the dangerous ruins of their lives at risk.
.
Caution vain, soon will fall miserably the rest of the temple, and will trample the toppled stones safely. There is more to see the ominous crack that runs along the south facade dislocating the swank-clerical coat of arms of the south portal.
.
In the empty shell of the temple, the pillars are inclined, the ships become clogged debris, rotting beams in the medium fall. What remains of the Romanesque apse cracking, open, announcing the approaching end of everything. But who cares, total, only it is a Romanesque building more. And we have so many!
.
A whom it may concern: It is still possible, if the storms, snow and high winds, this winter's unusual just respecting what still stands, preserving at least the Romanesque apse, restore north side, cleaning of debris and build the rest of the temple ruins. It is still possible, if you stop navel-gazing, to bask in their fanciful plans, counting and recounting the votes as a miser that this will provide. While
think again, if it is capable of it, is sentenced to pillory and stocks, right next to those venerable walls, by their carelessness, negligence, and rapacity, have been on the ground, the dust of oblivion and nothingness.
.
Health and fraternity.
