Part of a building has collapsed in the centre of Cartagena, leading the City Council to cordon off part of Plaza San Francisco as a precaution.

The incident occurred on Wednesday and required the attendance of Local Police and firefighters. Emergency services sealed off the surrounding area with portable barriers and tape, restricting access to pedestrians in what is normally a busy part of the city. The closure will remain in place until further notice.

Jesús Giménez, spokesperson for the MC party, has commented on the incident and blamed Mayor Noelia Arroyo for what he described as the deteriorating condition of the historic centre. The council has not yet issued further details about the structural damage or any potential repairs.
