On the heights of Bonifacio, protected by the ramparts of the citadel, we can still find the old silo and the city's flour mills. The silo is a ruined tower located in the Saint-François district, at a place called "Bois du Cavu". This is where the Bonifacians stored grain before grinding it in the nearby windmill. It is believed that this building was also used as a fodder store. The latter fell victim to a fire in 1899. If the silo is completely destroyed, the windmill is in a good state of preservation.

The windmill was once used to press olive oil.

The old mill stands impressively at the front of Bonifacio.

This part of town is currently undergoing extensive restoration.

A kindergarten has already been built right next to the mill.
