A popular rock structure in Italy<\/a> known as the “Lovers\u2019 Arch” collapsed on Valentine\u2019s Day following days of poor weather.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The natural formation, which was part of the\u00a0Sant’Andrea\u00a0sea stacks along southern Italy’s Adriatic coast, was often used as a backdrop for tourist photos<\/a> and wedding proposals, according to Reuters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This is an unwanted Valentine’s Day gift,” Maurizio Cisternino, the mayor of the nearby town of Melendugno, was quoted as telling a local newspaper.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Cisternino\u00a0described the collapse as a “very hard blow” for the area after days of heavy rain,<\/a> strong winds and rough seas.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Nature has taken back what it created,” Cisternino said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Photos taken at the scene showed a pile of rubble in an area where the arch used to soar over the water.<\/p>\n

Officials are now warning that other parts of the rocky coastline are at risk of collapse, which cracks visible along the cliffs, Reuters reported.<\/a><\/p>\n

The news agency also said that storms and heavy rains in recent days have damaged other parts of Italy\u2019s coastline along the Ionian Sea, damaging beach structures and causing small cliff falls from Gallipoli to\u00a0Ugento.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
