Description

The Central Térmica d'Alcúdia is a decommissioned thermal power station in Alcúdia, listed as a cultural asset of historic interest.

Industrial history under heritage protection

The power station was built in 1957 and designed to run on coal — fuel that was shipped in from the Spanish mainland to the port of Alcúdia. Today the entire complex is owned by the Consell Insular de Mallorca and listed as a Bien de Interés Cultural in the category of conjunto histórico. This protected status covers both the power station itself and the residential buildings opposite, where the plant's workers once lived. That housing settlement is currently undergoing restoration.

A destination for urban-exploration photographers

The power station has been out of service for many years. Its raw industrial architecture and the gradual decay of the site have made it a well-known subject for photographers. The grounds are fenced off and monitored by security cameras, so access is not permitted. The complex sits on the Carretera d'Alcanada in Alcúdia.
