POLICE in Barcelona have sealed off the area around Gaudi’s iconic, unfinished Roman Cathlotic church, the Sagrada Família, due to an ‘anti-terrorist operation’.
There is a cordon around the zone as experts from the TEDAX (bomb disposal unit) investigate a suspicious van parked in the area.
The Provença, Roselló and Sarden streets are closed and the public have been advised to follow police instructions and avoid the area
UPDATE: At 9.33pm the emergency services declared that the incident was a false alarm.
