Biel's Historical Centre
Most visitors come to Biel expecting a 19th century industrial city, and many of them are surprised to find that a typically mediaeval core is still preserved between the modern city on the plain and the villas on the slopes of the Jura. The outward appearance of the houses in the old town is still largely the same as it was in the 18th and early 19th centuries, with traces of older construction and the outlines of late mediaeval foundations visible everywhere.
