Nowadays, they are rarely used for their original purpose, but are often just technical and historical monuments to a long tradition of craftsmanship: the heavy millstones inside were moved using the power of the wind as the driving force, for example to grind grain into flour (so-called grain mills) or to press oil from fruits (e.g. olives) (so-called oil mills). These old windmills are therefore the best proof that people were clever enough to harness the power of the wind a number of centuries ago - long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions that followed.

Here is a beautiful old windmill, unfortunately without its sails, but which nevertheless remains an interesting building to visit.
