El Cotillo lime kilns, Historic lime kilns in El Cotillo, Spain.
Five industrial stone kilns stand near the Tostón defensive tower, featuring conical structures with upper openings and lower entrance doors for material processing.
The lime kilns, constructed during the 18th century, enabled significant exports of limestone products to other Canary Islands through the nearby port facilities.
These structures represent the technical knowledge of local craftsmen who mastered the complex process of transforming raw limestone into construction materials.
Visitors can explore these industrial heritage structures from Monday to Friday between 09:00 and 18:30, and on Saturdays from 10:00 until 14:00.
The kilns required precise temperature control between 800 and 1000 degrees Celsius, with burning processes lasting up to a week for optimal lime production.
