The "molí des comte" ("Count's Mill") in Ciutadella is one of the few grain mills that are still preserved in Menorca.
It was built in 1762 and was in use until 1905; In 1993 it was renovated.

The "molí des comte" ("Count's Mill") in Ciutadella is one of the few flour mills still preserved in Menorca.
It was built in 1762 and was in operation until 1905; it was renovated in 1993.
The ground floor served as a storage area and the miller lived on the first floor.
The building has various rooms, courtyards and gardens.
It currently houses a steakhouse.
The mill is located at Avenida Constitución, number 22, on the corner of Camí de Maó. Diagonally opposite is the Plaza de las Palmeras ("Palm Square").
There is a public car park behind the mill.

Nowadays they are actually just monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones were moved solely using the power of the wind as driving energy and, for example, grains were ground into flour (grain mills) or oil was pressed from olive fruits (oil mills).
But Miguel de CERVANTES (1547 to 1616) also set a literary monument to the technical monument of the Molinos: the most famous figure of the author, who is considered the national poet of Spain and whose work can certainly be valued as world literature: “Don QUIXOTE”, also known as “Knight “of the sad figure” and always accompanied by his loyal squire Sancho Panza, in one of the fictional stories he fights a - of course hopeless - battle against windmills in which he believes he recognizes four-armed giants.
