Molini di Triora is a small town of the Argentina Valley located in the hinterland of Arma di Taggia. Its unique place-name derived from the existence of 23 water mills scattered along the Argentina and Capriolo Torrents. Today, two water mills are still in perfect conditions.

Molini di Triora is an ancient and charming town full of legends and history. In these places, during the years of the Inquisition battles were fought against witchcraft. The first documents that prove that witchcraft existed dates back to 1331 when the area was dominated by the lord of Ventimiglia, Carlo Grimaldo.

The independence and administrative autonomy was gained in the first years of the 20th century when it was able to break away from Triora. It then developed a social identity as well as a prosperous economy.

Nowadays Molini di Triora is the starting point for many Mountain Bike tracks in the upper Valle Argentina.
