The launch of the first thermal power plant in Sant Adrià de Besòs in 1913 radically transformed the municipality, which at the time only had about 500 inhabitants. This new industrial hub generated a large number of job opportunities, attracting residents from the agricultural sector to industry.

A significant portion of the workers lived within the plant's complex, known for its Three Chimneys. To improve their quality of life, extensive gardens were created in 1928, designed by the French architect Jean Claude Nicolàs Forestier.

These green areas aimed to provide a pleasant space for recreation and rest for the plant staff, offering a notable contrast between industrial harshness and scenic beauty.

Unfortunately, the gardens and the thermal power plant itself were severely damaged by bombings during the Civil War, leading to their disappearance and the loss of this historic space in Sant Adrià.
