Trompe-l’Å“il ascent to Heaven of Our Lady of Mercy, Barcelona

This time-lapse video reduces some 38 minutes to 2.5. The great bronze Vulture and Child on top of the Basilica de la Merced/Mercé was cast after the war from the remains of smaller monuments to red and separatist leaders and I think the phoney arch was added at the same time. The spectacle is visible during the equinoxes but, curiously, not afaik at the feast of the Assumption. Fans of French cookery may acquire some useful information around 01:25.
