The Historic Walled Town of Cuenca, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Spain, is a remarkably well-preserved medieval fortified city perched atop a steep promontory. Its cobblestone streets, Gothic cathedral, and iconic "hanging houses" clinging to cliff edges exemplify a harmonious blend of architecture and natural landscape, showcasing centuries of history from its Moorish origins to Christian reconquest. The town's defensive walls, once protecting it from invaders, now enclose a cultural treasure recognized for its universal value and historical significance.
