Abstract: We study the automorphisms of modular curves associated to Cartan subgroups of $mathrm{GL}_2(mathbbZ/nmathbbZ)$ and certain subgroups of their normalizers. We prove that if $n$ is large enough, all the automorphisms are induced by the ramified covering of the complex upper half-plane. We get new results for non-split curves of prime level $pge13$: the curve $X_{extns}^{+}(p)$ has no non-trivial automorphisms, whereas the curve $X_{extns}(p)$ has exactly one non-trivial automorphism. Moreover, as an immediate consequence of our results we compute the automorphism group of $X_0^{*}(n):=X_0(n)/W$, where $W$ is the group generated by the Atkin-Lehner involutions of $X_0(n)$ and $n$ is a large enough square.
