This print captures the breathtaking sight of Cuenca, a city constructed on the rocks of a magnificent ravine. The historic center is adorned with the iconic Cathedral and Casas Colgadas, also known as Hanging Houses, which overlook the rugged canyon walls in the heart of the Cuenca Mountains. Connecting the old city to the other side of Huecar River and San Pablo Monastery is the impressive Bridge of San Pablo, an architectural marvel that stands at 100 meters in length and approximately 50 meters in height. With its metallic structure and stunning design dating back to 1543, this footbridge has become one of Cuenca's most popular tourist attractions. As you stroll along its vaulted alley next to the hanging houses, you can't help but be mesmerized by both its innovation and connection to history.
