Among Poblenou’s chimneys stands Can Canela, a former textile factory and a symbol of the neighbourhood’s industrial legacy. Its brick walls and 25-metre-high chimney evoke its working-class past. Today, the building is home to a centre for training and entrepreneurship that preserves its industrial spirit. The exterior retains modernista details such as glazed ceramics and wrought iron, while the interior shows how industrial heritage can inspire new and distinctive ideas.
