Ta' Kola Windmill, Stone windmill in Xagħra, Malta
The round stone tower of Ta' Kola contains multiple rooms across two floors, with traditional milling machinery and restored wooden sails at the top.
The Fondazione Vilhena completed the construction of this flour mill in 1725, followed by essential structural renovations during the 1780s under the Knights of Malta.
The ground floor workshop displays numerous traditional woodworking and metalworking tools, while the upper level presents furnished living quarters of a miller family.
The museum opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM, with combined tickets available for both Ta' Kola Windmill and the nearby Ġgantija Archaeological Park.
Millers used a triton shell horn, known as a Maltese bronja, to signal villagers when wind conditions were suitable for grinding grain into flour.
