Windmills in Cartagena, Spain

These white stone windmills stand tall against the Murcian landscape, featuring wooden sails that rotate with the Mediterranean winds.

The windmills were constructed during the 18th century to process grain and became essential components of local agricultural production.

These structures represent traditional Spanish engineering methods and were officially designated as national cultural heritage monuments in 2007.

Visitors can reach the windmills by following the N-332 highway from Cartagena city center to Campo de Cartagena region.

Each windmill contains original grinding mechanisms made of local stone, demonstrating regional milling techniques from past centuries.
