The windmill is an agri-tourism attraction and is found in a complex of agricultural buildings such as a farmhouse, a chapel, catacombs[1][2] and others.

[3] In 1674 Grand Master Nicolas Cotoner built five windmills around Malta, one of which was tax-Xarolla.

Tax-Xarolla Windmill was built by Grand Master Antonio Manoel de Vilhena in 1724.

[1] This is a valuable witness of local culture and heritage; it still has parts of the original mechanisms and can still grind the wheat.

In the year 2000, this building was passed over to be administered by the Żurrieq Local Council and is intended to serve also as a cultural centre.
