Police in Barcelona say a suspected arsonist (pirómano) started a small fire inside the Sagrada Familia basilica and forced the evacuation (evacuación) of hundreds of tourists. The blaze (el fuego) has been extinguished (extinguido) and no one has been hurt.(herido)

A Catalan regional police official said around 1,500 people had been evacuated from Antoni Gaudí's unfinished masterpiece(obra maestra). It is one of the most popular tourist sites in Spain's second-largest city.

The official said some tourists saw smoke(humo) coming from inside the sacristy (sacristía) and alerted authorities, and that the suspected arsonist was arrested(arrestado). The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with department policy.
She said the fire caused damage(daño) but no injuries(heridos).
The sacristy is the area where priests(sacerdotes) put on their robes (túnicas) in preparation for mass (misa). http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/apr/19/gaudi-sagrada-familia-fire-arrest
