Damn Cool Pics: Hanging Houses of Cuenca

Damn Cool Pics: The Hanging Houses of Cuenca


"The Hanging Houses are the most popular attractions of Cuenca, Spain. They are also known as Casas Colgadas. The history and exact origin of The Hanging Houses is unclear. Some believe they are of Muslim origin, while others say they are Medieval. Centuries ago, this kind of building was frequently seen throughout Cuenca, but nowadays only three Casas Colgadas remain, built in a cliff, above Huecar Gorge."
