Castle of Biar, Medieval castle in Biar, Spain
The Castle of Biar rises on a hillock with a double enclosure structure featuring four semi-cylindrical towers at each corner of its exterior walls.
Built in the 12th century by Almohads, the castle later became a strategic point between the kingdoms of Aragon and Castile following Christian conquest.
The castle represents the evolution of military architecture through its combination of Islamic and Christian construction techniques visible in its stone and rammed earth walls.
Visitors can reach the castle through the town of Biar, with tourist information available at the local office through email biar@touristinfo.net or phone +34 965811177.
The castle contains the sole example of Almohad ribbed vaulting in Spanish military architecture, located on the first floor of its rectangular shell keep.
