EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Casas Colgadas (Hanging Houses) in Cuenca, Castilla-La Mancha, Spain. Bathed in glorious sunshine under a cloudless blue sky, these historical landmarks stand proudly against the picturesque landscape of southern Europe. The hanging houses are a true marvel of architecture, defying gravity as they dangle precariously over the edge of a cliff. Their balconies offer breathtaking views and serve as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage that permeates this region. Constructed with stone and boasting a contemporary Mediterranean design, these houses blend seamlessly into their surroundings while still commanding attention. They represent both the past and present of Spanish culture, serving as an enduring symbol of architectural brilliance. As you gaze upon this image, you can almost feel yourself transported to another time. The low angle view captures every intricate detail of these magnificent structures while leaving ample white space for contemplation. A popular tourist attraction and travel destination within Europe, Cuenca's Hanging Houses continue to captivate visitors from around the world. This photograph by Ruth Tomlinson/Robert Harding perfectly encapsulates their beauty and allure – an invitation to explore Spain's rich history through its remarkable architectural wonders.
