Answer

Why is the Capella del Beat Ramon in ruins?

The chapel has been in ruins since it was struck by lightning in 1975. Since then, the site has not been restored in a lasting way, which is part of the wider neglect affecting the area. Its condition is a reminder that small heritage structures can disappear if no one takes long-term care of them.
