Hanging Houses, Residential building in Cuenca, Spain.
The Hanging Houses extend from a vertical cliff face above the Huécar River gorge, with wooden balconies stretching outward from their stone facades.
The three remaining residential structures date from the 14th century, when they served as palatial homes for nobility visiting the medieval city.
The Museum of Spanish Abstract Art occupies two of these structures since 1966, displaying works by contemporary Spanish artists in this architectural setting.
The buildings remain open to visitors from Tuesday through Sunday between 11:00 and 20:00, with guided tours available in multiple languages.
The facades incorporate elements from other historical buildings, including a Renaissance frontage from an old palace in Villarejo de la Peñuela.
