In the middle of the 10th century, Mollet was a little center of population that depended on the bishop of Barcelona.

Of the medieval past of Mollet, there is only remaining the Romanesque church of Santa Maria de Gallecs

Mollet (which back then also included Parets) did not raise the population until the 17th century, then, a new church was built, but as ruling a town with 3 churches was hard, there were constant conflicts, which concluded with the separation of Parets.
