Ancient Roman villa at risk due AVE High Speed Train in Barcelona

Euro Weekly News: "A unique Roman villa dating back 17 centuries is threatened by the AVE High Speed Train in Barcelona. Archaeologists and residents in La Sagrera are protesting in support of the only Roman villa found in Barcelona which was uncovered a month ago and could end up as little more than a reconstructed mosaic in a museum if plans for the AVE go ahead."
