The only one left of the 9 fifteenth-century Spanish mills that once dotted the lagoon; initially they worked thanks to the wave motion due to the cyclic entry of the waters into the lagoon, but later, due to needs perhaps also due to the structural modification of the lagoon, they were transformed in the course of the sixteenth century into windmills. The surviving specimen stands a short distance (a few tens of meters) from the end of the isthmus on which the center of Orbetello stands, on the north side of the Leopoldina dam (the bridge that connects Orbetello to the Argentario).

"Mulino spagnolo" (the Spanish mill). It is located in the middle of the water, is apparently a historic building and lies against the background of the lagoon "bella figura"

The last of 9 mills that were built here by the Senese in the 15th century. Unlike windmills in Holland, these mills did not work with the wind but with the sea currents of the lagoon to grind flour! In the 16th century, however, the Spaniards converted the mills to wind operation for unknown reasons.
