This is the dismantled San Adrián thermal power plant. It currently belongs to the municipality and conserves the turbine hall and the three large chimneys.

The so-called Three Towers of Badalona is a beachfront 'industrial monument' that has no equal and, in my opinion, pales slightly in comparison to the more well-known structures on the Barcelona coast. After they ceased their service as a thermal power plant some time ago, it is still not entirely clear what to do with them: tear them down and pave a beautiful beach promenade or make a museum out of them. Well, in my opinion, one does not necessarily exclude the other.
