Why is it feminine?

Chimeneas is feminine because it derives from Latin "camīnāta" (feminine), which came from "camīnus" (masculine, meaning furnace or fireplace); the feminine form referred to a room with a fireplace and eventually the fireplace structure itself. Like many Spanish nouns ending in "-a" derived from Latin feminine forms, it retained feminine gender through this etymological path.
