Les Tres Xemeneies, Industrial chimneys in El Poble-sec, Barcelona, Spain.
Three red-brick chimneys rise 72 meters into the sky, marking the location of the former La Canadenca power station near Barcelona's port.
The power station started with one chimney in 1896, followed by additional structures in 1908 and 1912 to meet growing energy demands.
Barcelona recognized the chimneys as a historical-artistic monument in 1979, preserving these industrial structures for future generations.
Visitors can observe the chimneys from Jardins de les Tres Xemeneies, accessible via metro stations L2 and L3 at Paral·lel.
The 1919 workers' strike at La Canadenca lasted 42 days and led Spain to become the first country to establish an eight-hour workday.
