| Abstract: | The historic grain windmill at Xewkija, Gozo, was
recently restored to its former glory and, located as
it is on the main road between the harbour at Mġarr
and Rabat, should now be an additional attraction
both for the locals and for the many visitors to the
Island. The restored windmill is shown in Figure 1.
The windmill, which is colloquially known as ‘Il-
Mitħna tat-Tmien Kantunieri’ (The Eight-Cornered
Windmill), is the earliest surviving windmill in
Gozo, having been built in 1710 by the Foundation
of the Grandmaster of the Knights of St John
Raymundo Perellos y Rocafull (1697-1720). |
