The Castle of Lijar is probably one of its most distinctive and characteristic elements.
At first glance, the castle seems to be newly built, and this is because it was built in 2005, being the last castle built in Europe, making it very striking.
It was built by two masons of the town, who made sure to leave their name engraved on a plaque that adorns the vicinity of the castle.
It was built precisely because it seemed surprising, to a group of inhabitants, that a city that was capable of declaring war on a European power such as France, did also not have a single defensive or military construction.
It is a real architectural jewel, very well preserved and of great tourist attraction, which once again puts Lijar in the sights of scholars, tourists and visitors.
Next to the Castle of Lijar a tower was built, which stands at 7 meters high. This allows the tower to be seen from any point of the town, and from the tower you can access the best views of the whole town.
The inhabitants of the area, as well as the public and private institutions, have been in charge of keeping the tower and the castle in the best possible condition, as well as its surroundings, where they constructed cobblestone roads for its access, giving it great beauty.
