A few years before receiving this award, work began to rehabilitate this property according to the project presented by the architect Juan Navarro Baldeweg. The Museum Hydraulic plant located inside the mill was inaugurated in 2007 to show us the different uses that the building has had as a plant used for the production of cereal, fabric dyes or skin pickles.
The name of the mill derives from the Martos Gate of the old walled enclosure of the city that was located in front of the hydraulic construction. The building rose in the 12th century following the traditional model of the medieval Muslim waterways. In the 13th century it was known as ""Noria de Tiro"" and later, in the 16th century, it was renovated. until we reach the structure that we can see today.
Inside the museum we can find three exhibition rooms where through models and posters the visitor is informed about the different uses that the hydraulic plant has had over time, in addition to being able to access the lower area of the mill It is composed of a vaulted gallery where the enormous grinding stones that were used to process cereals, dyes and pickles at different times in history are still preserved today. /span>
