This reservoir is notable for its size and capacity. It has an area of 363.3 hectares and can contain up to 60.2 hm³ of water. The dam itself is a gravity dam with a height of 63 meters and a length of 250 meters. Its main purposes include hydroelectric power production, irrigation and drinking water supply.
In addition to its operational functions, the reservoir offers recreational activities such as water skiing, canoeing and sailing. It is known as a freshwater beach alternative for those who prefer enclosed waters over open seas. The reservoir supplies water to the city of Figueres and several coastal towns in the region, as well as irrigating approximately 4,200 hectares of land.

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.
