Historic Walled Town of Cuenca, Medieval fortress in Cuenca, Spain
The historic town stretches across a limestone ridge between two deep gorges formed by the Júcar and Huécar rivers at 1000 meters elevation.
After its conquest from Moorish rule in 1177, Cuenca transformed from an Islamic fortress into a royal town with Christian architectural influences.
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Grace combines Gothic and Norman architectural elements, featuring modern stained glass windows that create colored light patterns.
The town contains multiple observation points for photography, with guided walking tours available in English, Spanish, and French throughout the year.
The Casas Colgadas, traditional houses built on the cliff edge, extend their wooden balconies over the Huécar river gorge.
