Emblematic architecture

The stones here speak, because they are a part
of our past and a part of our present.

Molí del Collao

Coinciding with the population increase in La Marina Alta, new farmland was created and, consequently, the necessary infrastructure was built to process the cereal crops (especially between the 17th and 18th centuries).

The mill building, with a circular plan and a slightly frustoconical profile, has a diameter of approximately seven metres and a height of eight and a half metres. On the ground floor, there is a lintelled entrance door and a staircase attached to the wall leading to the upper chamber. The ground floor was used as a warehouse, and some ducts brought the wheat flour down from the upper room where the machinery and the millstones (currently missing) were located. In the upper part, one can see part of the original opening where the masts of the blades came out. The attached circular staircase preserves part of the original stone steps, and those that have disappeared have been replaced by others made of concrete blocks.

This mill is part of a set of three mills in total. The other two are in Benissa, guarded by the fence of the municipal water tank of the neighbouring Town Hall, and one of them preserves the year 1850 engraved on the stone. From this date, the approximate chronology of the other homonyms of the hillock is extracted.
