Molinetto della Croda, Seventeenth-century stone mill in Refrontolo, Italy.

The mill stands against rocky cliffs where the Lierza stream creates a ten-meter waterfall, flowing into a small lake below the structure.

From its construction in the 1600s until 1953, the mill served local farmers, grinding their grains into flour for nearly four centuries.

The mill preserves traditional grinding methods for two specific types of corn, biancoperla and marano, continuing centuries-old agricultural practices of the region.

Visitors can participate in guided tours to observe corn grinding demonstrations and purchase fresh polenta flour produced on site.

The foundation rests directly on exposed rock, known locally as croda, which provided natural stability against floods throughout the centuries.
