A small fire was reported inside a synagogue in Hania’s historic old quarter, on the island of Crete.
According to fire brigade reports, the blaze was centered under a wooden ladder that leads to the library.
Firefighters immediately rushed to the scene and extinguished the fire before it threatened the temple and the adjoining library, which features roughly 1,600 rare books and manuscripts.
A full investigation is underway to determine the exact cause of the incident.
