There was only minor damage to furnishings in the cathedral One of Spain's most famous landmarks, the Sagrada Familia cathedral in Barcelona, has had to be evacuated after a suspected arson attack.
About 1,500 tourists were ordered to leave the building reportedly after a man started a fire in the sacristy, where priests don their robes.
Firefighters managed to put out the fire, and nobody was hurt, although some furnishings were damaged.
A man, who was described as "disturbed", was detained by police.
The Sagrada Familia is considered a masterpiece by the architect Antoni Gaudi.
It is still unfinished nearly 130 years after work began, but was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI in November last year, allowing masses to be held in the main part of the cathedral.
