The Old Bridge of Puente de Molins, over the Muga River, is a historical work that gave its name to the municipality and that linked the new town with the old town of Molins. It is protected as a cultural asset of local interest. It is located in the center of the town, on the Muga. A few years ago, the route of the road was moved about 200 m to the east and a new bridge was built. Part of the three-arched structure from the 16th century is preserved from the old bridge. XVIII. The old town of Molins, also called Molins de Dalt, is located 1 km west of Pont de Molins.

Near the church there is a small group of houses from the 17th and 18th centuries. The parish church of San Sebastián was completed in 1789, a date that appears on the door lintel.

A few meters north of the canonical church of El Roble, is the sanctuary of the Virgen del Roble (17th century). We find the ruins of the monastery of Santa Maria del Roure 1 km north of Molins, at the top of a hill. It is worth highlighting the parish church of San Sebastián (18th century), and, near the Muga, in different places in the area, remains of old mills, the best preserved of those found to the left of the river, between Pont de Molins and Molins.

Molins Castle is located in front of the Molins neighborhood. Several elements remain, such as the tower, walls and the remains of its Romanesque chapel. It was part of the defensive system of Llers (the term to which it belonged) and was one of the eleven castles that surrounded this town. It is known for the Buac tower. In this half-destroyed castle there are remains from the 11th-12th centuries.

Small nice village with a small restaurant on the bridge. Good to take a short break.
