History of the Jeroni Mill

Together with the mill of Mateu, the Molino d’en Jeroni constitutes what are called the mills of sa Miranda. According to the available documentation, the mill dates back to 1760 and was built by the Tur “Jeroni” family, who gave it its name.

In 1958 a windstorm damaged it and it did not recover the antennas until it was restored in 1991. The tower, 5 meters in diameter and 7 meters high, has a single access door facing southeast. Its strategic position, 64 m above sea level, responds to the search for maximum exposure to the wind, and From the mill you can enjoy very good views of practically all Migjorn, the area of La Savina, the islet of Es Vedrá and the island of Ibiza. In addition, the mill d’en Jeroni can be seen from several points of the island, which makes its silhouette an identifiable landmark from much of the territory of Formentera.
