Three Heritage Malta workers sustained injuries on Friday morning while carrying out a routine inspection on Ta’ Kola Windmill, Xaghra, following the recent storm.

Heritage Malta said that during the inspection the sails of Ta’ Kola Windmill collapsed onto the mill’s roof while being rotated manually.

The workers were taken to Gozo General Hospital for treatment. No information was provided as to their condition.

Heritage Malta said that initial assessments indicate that the wooden structure supporting the sails suffered extensive damage from the elements and the storm, leading to the collapse.

The collapse of the sails also resulted in damage to the roof of the windmill. Repair works to address the damage will commence immediately, said Heritage Malta.
