16th Century Church

A Spanish church was under fire Wednesday over the "frightening" restoration of a 16th century wooden sculpture of St. George which left it looking like a cartoon character according to social media reactions.

Some things are best left to the experts - as one Spanish church learnt this week after outsourcing restoration of a 16th century sculpture to a local arts and crafts teacher. The church is now under fire by locals, experts and Internet alike as the finished product looks more like a cartoon figurine than a priceless piece of history.

A 16th century church submerged in a southern Mexico dam project 49 years ago has reappeared following a severe drought, drawing visitors by boat to gaze at the spectacular ruins.
