Ta’ Kola Windmill

"Gozo is an amazing place where history and nature meet in harmony. The Xaghra Church impresses with its magnificent architecture, while the Ta' Kola Windmill, built in 1725, offers stunning views and a historical atmosphere. A must-visit to feel the spirit of this unique island!"

If you’ve never been inside a windmill before, this is definitely worth a visit. It’s a unique experience where you can also read a lot about Malta’s history and how important bread was in daily life.

This is a very interesting museum, situated just a five-minute walk from the Ġgantija Temples.

We bought the combo ticket which included entry to the temples. There was no waiting time, the staff were friendly, and the windmill was quaint and well-preserved.

Visited because it was included with the Ġgantija Archaeological Park ticket, so I mean why not. A cute windmill to visit, kind workers, clean bathroom, organized and clean site. Tight at the top with others but a great conversation starter for sure 😆. Overall pretty good

Such a cool place to visit. Definitely worth a visit and free entry with your ticket from the ruins.

Entry to the museum is €10 on a combined ticket with the nearby Ggantija Archeological park (the latter makes is worthwhile) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums in Victoria (Citadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park and Ta Kola windmill. The windmill makes for an enjoyable 15 minute visit, but I wouldn't trek out to Ggantija just to see it. It is also wholly unsuitable for people who cannot handle lots of twisting stairs (you can see it from the outside though). The windmill is prettier on the outside than the inside, so you may not wish to actually pay for entry of you don't have a ticket for the nearby Archeological park.

It was wonderful to be able to see a few windmills while visiting Malta. I did not realize how important the miller was to the area - and how people counted on his services. It was great - that we could wander through each of the rooms, see how the miller and his family lived, and to realize just how old the surviving windmill is. It's origins go back to 1725! Malta is filled with so much history and culture - this is a definite must if you go there.
