Imposing hilltop castle from the 12th century on a steep cliff. The oldest part of the castle is the eastern tower, built on the steep slope of the cliff, made of tapia masonry. It dates from the Almohad period, i.e. the end of the 12th to the beginning of the 13th century. The second tower of the complex probably dates from the first decades of the 14th century. Originally a Moorish foundation, after the Reconquista the castle was located in the border area between the Kingdom of Murcia, claimed by Castile, and the Kingdom of Valencia, conquered by Aragon. A chain of castles was built in this area, mainly along the Vinalopó river. Around 1240 the castle was taken from the Muslims under Aragonese leadership and with the help of the Templars and the Order of St. John. Under the name "El Cid", Spain's knight Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar became the symbol of the Reconquista. The Castilian nobleman fought against Moorish rulers and Christian competitors in the 11th century. He never lost a single battle, the Moors respectfully called him Alsayyed (Lord of the Leaders), which later became “EL Cid”. The Spaniards, however, always spoke of “El Compeador”.

Biar is a small town situated at an altitude of approximately 700 meters in the Alt Vinalopó mountain region. Its most famous landmark is the Castillo de Biar, a medieval castle of Muslim origin, later expanded during the Christian Reconquista, which offers impressive views from its Torre del Homenaje (Tower of Homage). The old town is characterized by narrow streets and whitewashed houses, conveying an authentic medieval atmosphere. A historic church, traditional crafts such as ceramics, and the surrounding natural landscape make Biar a culturally and scenically appealing destination. I met friendly people and had pleasant conversations. Biar is absolutely worth seeing; the old town is best explored on foot and in more detail – a stroll through it is well worth it. 👍 CASTILLO DE BIAR – The Mother of all Castles and of the Knight El Cid The Castillo de Biar, associated with the name of the "Liberator of Valencia," Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar – better known as El Cid – is considered the "Mother of Castles" in this region. Not because it is the oldest, but because its history embodies numerous cultural and historical developments of the area. Moreover, its appearance perfectly matches the image one has of a castle since childhood: fortified walls, battlements and towers, a protected inner courtyard – all perched atop a striking hill, here at an altitude of approximately 750 meters. Nestled at the foot of this imposing rock is the village of Biar, seeking refuge and shade from the southern heat below the castle.
