> Visitors waiting to enter the Castillo de Escalona witnessed a tower crumble around 10.30am on Saturday, March 14. Dust clouds billowed as stones tumbled, but quick warnings from surrounding onlookers made sure everyone managed to get clear. Tourists captured the moment on video, with cries of alarm ringing out just before the structure gave way completely. Five parked cars nearby suffered serious damage from falling debris.
