Pont de Molins (Town Hall)
Highlight • Settlement
Pont de Molins is a small municipality located right in the heart of Alt Empordà, in the middle valley of the Muga River, and its natural environment brings together several routes and paths ideal for cycling. Furthermore, being a town steeped in history, there are several points of architectural interest to visit, such as the church of Sant Sebastià, the canonical church of Santa Maria del Roure, the Pont Vell (Old Bridge) or the Molins castle, among others.
Essentials
As its name indicates, Pont de Molins links part of its history to the existence of the mills that used the waters of the Muga river, so you should not miss the Closa, La Roca, Son and Jordà mills. Also interesting is a visit to the remains of the canonical church of Santa Maria del Roure and the castles of Molins and Montmartí.
Suggestions
Enjoy a walk along the banks of the Muga river as it passes through the municipality and discover the locks of the Calvet mill and the Jordà mill, which allow you to understand how the river's flow was used. Likewise, you cannot miss taking a good walk through the town center and discover its historic farmhouses and mansions, such as Can Cufí, Can Nei, Can Jordà or the Sant Lluís flour mill.

Santa Maria del Roure Monastery
Highlight • Religious Site
In the 15th century, due to the war, the church and other buildings of the priory were in a dilapidated state, and subsequently, through alms, it was repaired. A Gothic style church was built on top of the Romanesque church. Ferran del Campo mentions that miraculous events took place there that made it a place of pilgrimage. The image of the Virgin plays a key role in its veneration.

Old Bridge of Pont de Molins
Highlight • Bridge
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.

Església de Sant Vicenç
Highlight • Religious Site
Romanesque style, although it also incorporates Gothic and Renaissance elements. It has a single nave with a semicircular apse and a bell tower that rises above the transept.
Inside the church is the main altarpiece, which is an outstanding work of art. This Renaissance altarpiece is known as the "Altarpiece of Sant Vicenç". It was made in the 16th century and is an example of the Renaissance art of the region.
