Cuenca Fun Fact: A fun fact about Cuenca, Spain, is that it’s famous for its unique “hanging houses” (Casas Colgadas), which are perched on the edges of cliffs! These medieval houses were built directly into the steep sides of a gorge overlooking the Huécar River, creating an eye-catching sight. The most famous of these buildings, dating back to the 14th century, now house the Museum of Abstract Art. The combination of natural beauty and architectural daring makes Cuenca a fascinating and picturesque place to visit.
