This is a beautiful windmill which has been fully restored and is open to visitors. It is very close to the centre of Xaghra and the other attractions. It is easily accessible by bus from both Victoria and Mgarr. The site is in the care of Heritage Malta. The inside shows life as it would have been. It has very steep steps to get to the mechanics which drive the mill but it is worth the effort.

This is an interesting and informative attraction, where we live we several different types of watermill. This was intriguing to see the similarities and the differences between the two different power sources. It has a good display on the last miller and his accomodation, then it moves onto the operation of the mill itself. This looks like one of the last complete windmill of this traditional Malta style mills. We bought the combined ticket which allows entry to the nearby Ggantija temples as well, both are Heritage Malta sites. We also used the Malta Discount Card which gave us half price admission. The Heritage Malta card gives free entry to most of there sites but does cost more, worth checking them out at before the start of your hols.

The Ta'Kola windmill is just a short walking distance from the exit of Ggantija ruins in the village of Xaghra. One of a few left remaining intact on the islands. It was built in 1725 by the Fondazione Vilhena of Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena, and was rebuilt in the 1780s. It is now a museum and very impressive,
