The traffic lights (the house of Signal) is a historic building built in the late nineteenth century in the area of El Prat de Llobregat, known as the Lagoon, about 200 meters from the old barracks of the Carabineros.
This house was built in order to regulate the shipping costs and reduce the number of accidents. This was achieved by the installation of some traffic lights fitted with optical telegraphs, according to a preset code, to communicate with ships sailing along the coast.
This farm, known officially as the "flare Llobregat River" is also connected with the castle through a telegraph flag.
To protect the building from flooding from the sea, the land had to be raised three feet above sea level. The rectangular building had a central balcony and underground cistern that collected rainwater.
The first employees of which it has knowledge dating from 1897, who lived in very bad health conditions, with continuous episodes of malaria, typical for the whole area of the Llobregat Delta.

The bottom half is really nice, but the clouds ruin the image. You need to figure out what to do to make the sky look like sky.
