The Spanish city of Cuenca -- literally "river basin",
referring to its location between two gorges -- is known for
its "hanging
houses" that project from the cliffs they sit upon.
The Monastery of San Pablo in the town is not different, appearing
as an extension of the part natural and part manmade rock
walls that give the small town its identity. The church besides
the Monastery was used as a concert hall for years, but an
installation by Paredes
Pedrosa Arquitectos transformed the Gothic interior into
a place for appreciating abstract art.
