Forty street lights were vandalised recently in Castro Marim’s pretty garden of ‘Colina de Revelim de Santo António’.
The damage, which amounts to thousands of euros, is all the more tragic as the local authority had just upgraded the garden and says the lights – “illuminating one of the most beautiful pieces of historic heritage in the town”, a military structure dating back to the time of D. João IV – may have been vandalised by copper thieves.
Police are investigating.
