More information

The Hanging Houses of Cuenca are one of the most astonishing examples of medieval architecture in Spain. Suspended over the Huécar River, these structures have fascinated visitors for over 400 years.

Did you know...

These iconic dwellings date back to the 15th century and were built along the steep form of the cliff. They are remarkable for their wooden balconies that seem to float in the void.

Originally, the Hanging Houses of Cuenca were part of a larger complex of similar buildings. However, only a handful have survived the test of time.

Best viewpoints to see the Hanging Houses

To admire the Hanging Houses in all their glory, the best viewpoints are the bridge of San Pablo and the viewpoint in the Castle district.
