Fury as steps at heritage site hosting fashion show 'damaged'

Barcelona residents have expressed their fury at damage to the steps of a world heritage site during preparations for a Louis Vuitton fashion show.

The city has erupted into clashes between police and protestors enraged by the use of a public park for celebrities to show off next year's Cruise Collection in private.

A local neighbourhood association shared pictures of damage to the steps around barriers set up in the historic Park Güell earlier this month, before days of dramatic protest erupted in the city, culminating in violent clashes this evening.
