Places of tourist interest in Cuenca, Spain


By Daisy Quella at 2010-08-17 05:58:59

The city of Cuenca in Spain is a paradise for those tourists who wish to visit places of historical importance. Some of the places of interest for tourists are briefly introduced here:

St. Paul Bridge:

This Bridge is constructed over the Huecar's Gorge. According to history it was constructed in the year 1533. People were finding it difficult to visit Saint Paul Convent which was on the other side of the bridge. To enable people to attend the Convent, the bridge was constructed by Jaun Del Pozo. Actually the original bridge collapsed and a new one was constructed in the beginning of the 20th century. The new bridge has been constructed on the remains of the old bridge. This bridge which is located at a height of about 60 meters has been constructed using steel and wood.

The Town hall:

Some people would say what is so special in a Town Hall? The Town Hall building in Cuenca has a history behind it. It was constructed in the year 1762 in typical Baroque style by King Charles III. This is the most beautiful building in the vicinity. The three Roman Arches which support this building are unique in their look and aesthetic beauty. The Central Arch of the building is so beautiful that it has enhanced the beauty of the building.

Hanging Houses:

Can a house hang? In fact history says that hanging houses were common in Cuenca. These houses were built on a rock. Such houses were plenty all along the Huecar River Gorge. According to historians these houses were constructed in the 15th century. Now only two hanging houses are remaining. Out of the two houses, one is converted into a hotel and the other one into a museum. This museum has a collection of innumerable photos which are taken from the bridge of San Pablo.

Monument:

Located on the top of a hill where one can have a spectacular look of the places around is a monument devoted to Holy Heart of Jesus. Materials relevant to the monument were transported to the top of the hill through donkeys. The hill can be climbed by foot or even by car.

Provincial council:

This building has been constructed in the 20th century and it is one of the most beautiful buildings of Cuenca. The building is so elegant that it attracts the attention of most of the visitors.
