History
10th century
In the middle of the 10th century, Mollet was a little center of population that depended on the bishop of Barcelona.
12th century
Of the medieval past of Mollet, there is only remaining the Romanesque church of Santa Maria de Gallecs
From 15th to 18th centuries
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.

The Abelló Museum is a municipal art museum located in Mollet del Vallès, in El Vallès Oriental.[1] Opened on 29 March 1999, its principal collection comprises pieces from artist and collector Joan Abelló, which donated his collection to the city in 1996, creating the Joan Abelló Foundation, an independent organisation of the Mollet del Vallès Town Council. The museum is located in an Art Nouveau-style building from 1908, of which only the façade has been preserved.[4]
