Ta’ Kola Windmill.
Xaghra, Gozo island, Malta.

Ta’ Kola Windmill in the village of Xagħra, was built in 1725 by the Fondazione Vilhena of Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena, and was rebuilt in the 1780s. It became a museum in 1992.
Like many other Maltese windmills, it has a round central tower surrounded by a number of rooms. The sails and milling machinery have been restored, as have the miller’s living-quarters. The museum also contains a large collection of traditional tools, mostly for wood- and iron-working.
