More than 1,500 people were evacuated from one of Spain’s most popular tourist attractions, Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia basilica, after an apparent arson attack.

Four people were treated for smoke inhalation after fire broke out in the sacristy of Antoni Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece.

A “disturbed” man was arrested after a group of tourists raised the alarm.

The basilica, a Unesco world heritage site, was later reopened.

Thank God that the fire was contained in the sacristy and that no one got hurt. Its a good thing the tourists called in the authorities when they did.

God bless
 
I’m actually relieved it was only someone who was disturbed and not someone with a more dire and better-organized intent.
