Part of ramparts of Brno’s Špilberk castle collapses

Part of the fortification at the Špilberk castle in the Czech Republic’s second city Brno collapsed on Wednesday. Nobody was injured when a section of the western part of the castle walls measuring around 15 metres in length fell, evidently due to subsidence related to recent heavy rains. There are fears that more sections of the ramparts could collapse; concerts that were due to take place in a park beneath them will now be held elsewhere.
