CWN Editor's Note: The 15th-century Church of San Miguel in Jerez de la Frontera, long recognized by the Spanish government for its cultural significance, has suffered two arson attacks in recent days. Both fires were set at the church doors.

“The Church of San Miguel is a jewel, so it is very unfortunate that this fire has occurred, which seems to have affected only the doors and the entrance to the church,” said María José García-Pelayo, the mayor of the city of 212,000.
