This windmill known as tax-Xarolla, was built by Grandmaster Manoel de Vilhena in 1724. He introduced another mechanism of windmills, which was brought from the Balearic Islands this time, as this was Cottoner’s native land. In 1992 it was restored to its original working order and now is the only functioning windmill in Malta. It can still grain the wheat. In the year 2000 this building was passed over to be administered by the Zurrieq Local Council to serve also as a cultural centre.
