These are only the last four houses of the 10 that existed in ancient times.

Built in 999, this church was first a mosque and later converted into a Christian temple after the Reconquista. The main facade is made of unplastered brick and features three doorways. One has a semicircular arch, another a horseshoe arch, and the third a five-lobed arch. Above these runs a frieze of interlaced horseshoe arches, a network of lozenges, and the founding inscription. You can visit the monument from Monday to Sunday during the following hours: Summer Hours March 1 to October 15 10:00 AM – 6:45 PM Winter Hours October 16 to February 28 10:00 AM – 5:45 PM Prices vary, and there is also the option to purchase a tourist bracelet that includes other monuments, thus reducing the price.

Original construction: The original bridge, built of stone in the 16th century, collapsed at the end of the 19th century. Current bridge: The current bridge was designed by the Valencian engineer José María Fuster y Tomás and built by George Henry Bartle. It is 100 meters long and 60 meters high. Views: It offers spectacular views of the famous Hanging Houses and the natural landscape surrounding the city. 😎🚶‍♀️

The current bridge, built at the dawn of the 20th century, is constructed of iron and wood and maintains the structure and style of its era, giving it the appearance of a footbridge. The original bridge was made of stone with five arches supported by rough-hewn pillars, some remnants of which still remain. Crossing the river at this point is a must-do on any visit to Cuenca.

The Plaza Mayor of Cuenca is a historic center and one of the most emblematic places in the city of Cuenca, in Castilla-La Mancha. This square is known for its Baroque architecture and its importance as a meeting point and hub of communication in the old part of the city. Main buildings: The Cathedral of Santa María and San Julián, the Cuenca City Hall, and the Convent of San Pedro. The most notable monument in Cuenca began construction at the end of the 12th century after the conquest of the city, but its core took shape in the 13th century. The naves, from the transept to the façade, date from the 14th century, and the ambulatory was transformed in the 16th century to adapt its original structure to new aesthetic trends. Its first façade also dates from this period, replaced in the 18th century by another that had to be demolished at the beginning of the 20th century, when the current Neo-Gothic façade, designed by Vicente Lampérez, was built.

I have always been struck by the front view of this Cathedral.

Right opposite is the Talavera Road Safety Education Center.
