Historic Windmill
Ta' Kola Windmill in Xaghra, Gozo, is one of the few surviving windmills on the Maltese Islands dating back to the Knights' Period. Its origins go back to 1725 during the magistracy of Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena (1722-36). Nowadays, the windmill houses one of the largest known collections of tools, some of which were manufactured by the last miller who lived inside the mill. The site offers a glimpse into the traditional rural life of the locals during the past centuries.

A gem of a visit.
A gem of a building. To be honest we didn’t expect much from the outside, but were pleasantly surprised when we went in. It felt a bit like a tardis - small from the outside and really big inside, l was amazed at how much space there was. The displays were clear and it was lovely to see that it was a home as well as a work space. Well worth a visit.

How they lived and worked
There’s more to it than we were expecting with re-created rooms on the first floor and stairs all the way to the top to the windmill. The ground level had plenty of agricultural implements and information boards. Entrance is combined with the Ggantia temple ticket.
