Biosca Castle is located on top of the village, built on the rock and dilapidated.
Next to the castle are the remains of the former castle chapel, dedicated to St. Mary, and Romanesque. The apse is semicircular, with Lombard arches and paired beautiful, which was sobrealzado. It retains the original tower, probably the twelfth century. Subsequently a Gothic chapels were added at noon and was dedicated to San Abdón and San Senen.
The church square is the main center of town, and is surrounded by covered alleys with vaulted places on the street and houses that retain their medieval style.
