Alto Horno nº 1 de Altos Hornos de Vizcaya, Industrial heritage site in Sestao, Spain.
The blast furnace stands 80 meters tall with a 6-meter diameter crucible and incorporates a system of 14 tuyeres at its base.
Inaugurated in November 1959, this blast furnace operated until 1996, producing up to 1,500 tons of iron daily for the Basque industrial region.
The structure represents the industrial revolution in northern Spain and the transformation of the Nervion River's left bank into a manufacturing center.
The furnace includes separate gas ducts connected to a collector that directs gases toward a purification system, demonstrating advanced industrial engineering.
Nine specialized workers, including a master extractor, assistant, and technicians, coordinated their efforts to maintain the furnace's continuous operation.
