Chimney of la Misericordia, Industrial monument in Carretera de Cádiz District, Spain
The Chimney of la Misericordia is a tall brick industrial structure that has defined the southwestern skyline of Málaga for decades and remains visible from great distances. This tower was part of a larger power plant complex, and its vertical form rises distinctly above the surrounding residential landscape.
The chimney was constructed in 1957 as part of the Central Térmica de la Misericordia power plant and was essential for supplying electricity to the rapidly expanding city. This facility marked a period when Málaga was modernizing its industrial base and expanding its energy infrastructure.
The structure stands as a reminder of when industry and modernization shaped southwestern Málaga, remaining visible today as a marker of that industrial period for those passing through.
The chimney sits in an accessible residential area in southwestern Málaga and can be easily reached by public transportation. The surrounding neighborhood offers several nearby amenities, including restaurants and a beach within walking distance.
The chimney is visible from numerous points along the Málaga coastline and has served as a natural landmark for residents and visitors for decades. Its widely recognized position makes it an unexpected symbol that shapes how people navigate and remember the city.
