Cuenca قونكة

Built by the Moors in a defensive position at the heart of the Caliphate of Cordoba, Cuenca is an unusually well-preserved medieval fortified city. Conquered by the Castilians in the 12th century, it became a royal town and bishopric endowed with important buildings, such as Spain's first Gothic cathedral, and the famous casas colgadas (hanging houses), suspended from sheer cliffs overlooking the Huécar river. Taking full advantage of its location, the city towers above the magnificent countryside.

It is located in the interior of Spain, in the northeast of the Castile-La Mancha region. The capital of the province is the city of Cuenca, where the historical fortified town has been awarded the World Heritage designation by the UNESCO. This is the setting for the Religious Music Festival, held during Easter week and declared a festival of International Tourist Interest.

 بُنيت مدينة كوينكا على يد العرب على موقع دفاعي في وسط خلافة قرطبة وهي واجهة مدينة متوسطية مدعّمة حظيت بأفضل صيانة. احتلّها سكان قشتالة في القرن الثاني عشر وأصبحت مدينةً ملكيّةً وأسقفيّة ذات مبانٍ عديدة عظيمة القيمة مثل الكاتدرائيّة القوطيّة الأولى في اسبانيا والمنازل المعلّقة الشهيرة المتشبثة بالنتوءات المتعرّجة التي تطل على هويكار. تفيد المدينة خير إفادةٍ من موقعها وهي تطل من عل بافتخارعلى محيطها.
