This is not a tall chimney, but I believe it's tall enough for this category: perhaps 10 meters high.
It's a strange lonely chimney, located in the middle of a triangular building, in the historic center of Silves. There is something religious in the building, but no current traces of religious activity. Still, it has all the style of a church although I never saw a triangular church.
I couldn't find any information about the complex. So I have to estimate that the building was built in the 18th Century.
On the top of the chimney there is a storch nest and when I visited two proud "residents" were there.
