Centenary tiles from the National Palace discarded in ravine and Las Cañas River
In a shocking display of disregard for historical artifacts, centenary tiles from the National Palace have been discovered discarded in a ravine and the Las Cañas River in El Salvador. The tiles, which hold great cultural and historical significance, were found strewn about in the water and on the riverbanks, sparking outrage among conservationists and historians.
The National Palace, a symbol of El Salvador’s political history, has been subject to illegal modifications despite a law that prohibits irreversible changes to the building. The government has now intervened to take possession of the Palace in order to prevent further damage to the historic site.
The discovery of the discarded tiles has raised questions about the preservation of El Salvador’s cultural heritage and the lack of enforcement of laws protecting historical sites. The Graphic Press is set to publish a detailed report on the incident, shedding light on the negligence that has led to the desecration of the National Palace.
As efforts are made to restore and protect the National Palace, authorities are calling for increased awareness and respect for the country’s rich history. The investigation into the illegal modifications and discarding of the centenary tiles is ongoing, with those responsible facing potential legal consequences for their actions.
