These are only the last four houses of the 10 that existed in ancient times.

Perched on the rocky ledge above the Huécar gorge, the Hanging Houses are an undisputed symbol of Cuenca and true jewels of popular Gothic architecture. Made of masonry with ashlars at the corners and supported on corbels, they look out over the river from their wooden balconies projecting over the cliff.
