In the 11th century, the Moors, who dominated the Iberian Peninsula at that time, built a fortress on the site of a Roman settlement. The city grew up on a cliff between the rivers Hucar and Hué car, and the Hanging Houses of Casas Colgadas, as if hanging on the edge of the cliffs above a steep cliff, became its landmark. It seems quite risky to live here, but the houses have stood like this since the 14th century. Wooden balconies that have survived in places hang over the abyss. Some houses housed inns - hotels with several rooms and small restaurants. The streets along the cliff are not strong enough for a couple of passers-by, but those are not here either - the narrow stone pavements are completely deserted. The parador in the old building is down in the center of the abyss.
