"What possess they done to the Ermita de Nuestra Seu00f1ora del Miru00f3n?" the team asked. "It is actually a listed structure, but even if it weren't, any focus on a building including this needed to go through minimal guarantees." Soria Patrimonio told El Confidencia that the job was actually disappointing, as it had actually been accomplished without the important preparatory studies, and had actually changed the look that the religion had actually had for the past century. "We've found yourself along with the ornamental aspects being actually outlined as well as the seraphes-- which were white previously-- coming to be caricature-like.".
