The Hanging Houses of Cuenca, Spain
The origin of the Hanging Houses, or Las Casas Colgadas as they’re known in Spanish, is largely unknown to historians, although there is proof that they existed as far back as the 15th century. They look like they’re perfectly built into the rock, don’t they? Nowadays the Hanging Houses play host to a restaurant, as well as the Spanish Museum of Abstract Arts. Perhaps unsurprisingly, they’re known as the most famous buildings in all of Cuenca.
