Few people know that this building was used as steam mill, as opposed to the more common wind mill. It was built in the latter half of the 19th century. There is an indulgences plaque beneath a niche dedicated to the Mother of Light on the principal façade. These indulgences were bestowed by the decree of Bishop Antonio Buhagiar on the 18th March 1886, which proves that the building was already in existence at the time.
This mill was still in use after the second World War and many still remember this. Beneath the building itself, there is a huge water cistern, the water of which was used for the production of steam. It is unknown whether the machinery used in this steam mill still exists.
