Comment

The Hanging Houses are the symbol par excellence of the city of Cuenca. Although the exact date of its construction is not known, its existence has been documented since the 15th century. Suspended in the rock, on the huécar river sickle, they are part of the many tourist and cultural attractions offered by the city of Cuenca, declared World Heritage by UNESCO.

Interesting fact

The 5 Euro Cuenca coin from Spain, made of Silver (.925) and weighing 13.5g, features a unique design that showcases the city of Cuenca's rich history and cultural heritage. The coin's reverse side features a depiction of the city's famous "Hanging Houses" (Casas Colgadas), a group of medieval buildings that are suspended from the cliffs overlooking the Huécar River. This striking design element not only adds to the coin's aesthetic appeal but also serves as a testament to the city's rich cultural and architectural heritage.
