Cuenca
Cuenca is a city and municipality located about 140 km southeast of Madrid, province of Cuenca, in the autonomous community of Castilla–La Mancha.
Built by the Moors in a defensive position at the heart of the Caliphate of Cordoba, Cuenca is an unusually well-preserved medieval fortified city. Conquered by the Castilians in the 12th century, it became a royal town and bishopric endowed with important buildings, such as the famous "Casas Colgadas" (hanging houses) 15th Century, that appear suspended over the cliffs edge overlooking the Huécar river.
