Should this building be demolished?

Apparently somebody doesn't want this building knocked down... and they made a big sign to prove it.

I was walking down the street near my house today and I saw the building pictured above with a sign reading ”No al Derribo” (“No to the Demolition”).  I’m not really sure what the whole story is behind this building, but I’m guessing that the city (or whoever owns the place) wants to knock it down because it’s old and in poor repair.  Of course, the people who have shops in the bottom floor of the building and those living inside (if anyone still lives there) probably don’t want to see it go.   

Now, I’m no structural engineer, but the roof and right wall of this building seem a little unsafe to me.  Take a look at the picture below for a close-up.  Notice especially the upper-right corner of the building – it doesn’t look like there’s much left to it at all:

I'm no structural engineer, but it looks like there's a slight problem with the roof.

Of course, maybe it’s “still good” and it only looks bad to my “layman’s eye” — but I kinda doubt it.  What do you think?  Is this building a dangerous firetrap that should be knocked down or is it a “historical icon” that should be protected/rehabilitated because it contributes to the architectural history and richness of the city of Burgos?  Leave your opinion in the comments section below.

Hasta luego,
