Hanging Houses of Frías (Province of Burgos)

Hanging Houses of Frías (Province of Burgos)
The houses, made of tufa and wood, have taken advantage of the small space offered by “La Muela”, a large rock on which the upper part of the city sits, so that they are built at the same ends of the rock, looking like that are part of the precipice. It is the example of an urbanism and architecture that adapts to the scarce land that the upper part of Frías has, which forces to develop the house both up and down, digging in the tuff rock, exceeding the usual number two floors. If the city is accessed from the south side we will have magnificent views of these hanging houses.

It is not known exactly the origin of the Hanging Houses, which for some is Muslim, while for others it is medieval, around the fourteenth-fifteenth centuries. It could have been an old manor house, under the shield of Canon Gonzalo González de Cañamares found inside. The myth, magic and legend elevated them to the category of Historic-Artistic Monument. Currently there are three houses restored in the twentieth century. In two of them the Museum of Spanish Abstract Art (Casas del Rey) is located and in the other a typical inn (Casa de la Sirena).
