The patron saint of Molini di Triora is Saint Lawrence, celebrated on 10 August, in the parish church dedicated to him in the main town, whose first structure, in the late Gothic style, is thought to date from 1486.
The bond with Triora, whose name the municipality still bears today, has roots in a story of independence: Triora's interests in the grain trade caused discontent among the villages of Molini, Andagna and Corte, which on 2 May 1654 declared their own local independence, obtaining administrative and fiscal autonomy from the Senate of the Republic of Genoa, while still remaining under the territorial control of Triora's podesteria. In 1903, by royal decree, the hamlets of Agaggio Inferiore, Agaggio Superiore, Algovo, Andagna, Corte, Gavano, Glori, Molini and Perallo were finally separated from Triora, giving rise to the municipality of Molini di Triora. The town also preserves the church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary at Andagna, with a polyptych of the Annunciation from around 1460 attributed to Emanuele Macario of Pigna or Giovanni Baleison of Demonte.
