Ta' Ganu Windmill, Grade 1 windmill in Birkirkara, Malta
The round windmill features a square base structure with traditional stone masonry and stands as an architectural element in the Maltese landscape.
Built in 1724 by the António Manoel de Vilhena Foundation, the windmill operated continuously for grain processing until its closure in 1929.
The structure received the name Tal-Maħlut from the mixture of wheat and hops traditionally used in Maltese bread making processes.
Located on Triq il-Mithna in the village of Ta Mahlut, the windmill now functions as an art studio hosting exhibitions of contemporary works.
During World War II, the windmill transformed into an air raid shelter, later becoming a blacksmith workshop before its renovation into an art space.
