The iconic windmills in La Mancha, Spain, were primarily built during the late 16th to early 17th centuries, around the time when the region was experiencing growth in agriculture and industry. These windmills were designed to harness the strong winds of the area for grinding grain and other purposes. Most of the existing windmills date back to this period, with some being restored or reconstructed in later years.
