Ta' Kola Windmill stands in the village of Xagħra on the island of Gozo, Malta. Its architect is given as António Manoel de Vilhena, and it was built by the Fondazione Vilhena of Grand Master Manoel de Vilhena, with a rebuild in the 1780s. It has a round central tower surrounded by rooms, typical of Maltese windmills. The sails, milling machinery and miller's living quarters have been restored, and it has been a museum since 1992, housing a large collection of traditional wood- and iron-working tools.
