The Molí de la Vila, also known as the Molí de Baix, is a mill in Juneda protected as a local cultural heritage asset, which from 1872 harnessed the hydraulic power of water to grind grain, distil spirits and press olives, and which was an example of the pre-industrial industry that sustained the comarca's economy well into the 20th century. Its origins go back to the 17th century, with one element dated to 1688, though the building preserved today may as a whole date from the 19th century. In 1937 part of the structure collapsed and was rebuilt in 1961, and in recent times it has undergone some consolidation work.
