Fanzara is a village in the Alto Mijares known today for the MIAU, an open-air urban art museum. Its origin is Muslim and its castle passed to the House of Segorbe.
Within the municipality is the late Bronze Age settlement of Cantalobos, from the 7th-6th centuries BC. The village's origin is placed in Muslim times. In 1259 James I gave the village to his wife Teresa Gil de Vidaure and their son Peter. In 1272 Jaime de Jérica inherited the castle, which passed to the House of Segorbe in 1417.
The church of the Asunción dates from the 17th century. In 2014 the Unfinished Museum of Urban Art (MIAU) was born, with murals across the village's façades.
