As you approach Biar you do not need to have eagle-eyes to contemplate its 12th century castle. The ‘Honour Tower’ ( Torre de Homenaje ) is among the Valencian heritages and exhibits an interwoven patterned vaulting over the arches that crisscross to form the center rosette which is an obvious detail that show us that it goes back to the mid 12th century. There are other levels where the Islamic architecture shows through and some additional features from the 15th century. In 1931 this was declared a National monument.
