Ta' Kola Windmill, Maltese: Il-Mitħna ta' Kola, is a windmill in the village of Xagħra, on the island of Gozo in the Maltese archipelago. It was built in 1725[1] by the Fondazione Vilhena of Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena, and was rebuilt in the 1780s.[2][3] It became a museum in 1992.[3]
Like many other Maltese windmills, it has a round central tower surrounded by a number of rooms.[2] 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.[4]: 221
