| The Hung Houses, also well-known as Flown Houses, you Marry of the King and, erroneously, you Marry Hanging, it is a group of civil buildings located in Cuenca (Spain). In the past it was frequent this architectural element in the border this of the old city, located in front of the sickle of the river Huécar, although today they only last a small part of them. Of all, the good known ones are a group of three of these structures with wooden balconies. Pablo Alberto Salguero Quiles |

One of the medieval most beautiful cities in Spain, Patrimony of the Humanity, located as door of SerranÃa conquense among the sickles of the river Júcar and their tributary Huécar. It is ignored the historical origin of the city exactly, some historians point of the step of Concanos, eminently warring town and of the possibility of an establishment Lobetano; in their current location it existed in the century IX a denominated strength Conca, built by the dependent Arabs of the emirate of Valencia in the kings' of Taifas times, passing later to the power of the king from Seville Al-Maramit, and of whose hands passed to the Almoravide ones and later to those of Alfonso VIII of Castile that in 1177 he/she added it to their domains. Alfonso X "The Sage" granted him/her title of City. It suffered fence and it was plundered by the French troops during Guerra of the Independence. It was sieged and taken by the Carlists in 1874 destroying part of the wall and going by the weapons to a great number of their inhabitants. In 1902 some works of remodeling of the cathedral provoked the collapse of the facade and on behalf of the central ship. In 1996 the humanity's City patrimony was declared by UNESCO Among the monuments of Cuenca, it highlights the Cathedral, national monument of style Gothic anglonormando, unique copy in Spain that at the moment is in reconstruction process.
