Gaudí's Dragon in Barcelona damaged by two young vandals

Madrid - Police in the Catalan metropolis of Barcelona detained two young people suspected of damaging a statue of the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí with an iron rod. Police sources reported this today.
    The stone Dragon statue covered with scales made of colorful tiled pieces, guarding the entrance to Park Güell in Barcelona, suffered serious damage, the police stated. The Barcelona city council declared that it wants to be the suing party and seeks strict punishment for the perpetrators who damaged this extraordinary work of art of great symbolic value.
    Catalan police were alerted on Tuesday that a group of young people was destroying several works of art in Park Güell with an iron rod. Officers quickly arrested a twenty-two-year-old man, who had previously committed acts of vandalism, and a minor girl.
    Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) is known primarily for the construction of the Sagrada Familia temple in Barcelona. He began building Park Güell at the beginning of the last century. Originally, he intended to create a garden city, but he did not complete his plan. The project was changed, and a public park was created.
