The House of the Duke of Almodóvar del Río is a building built in Comillas between 1899-1902 by the architect from Jerez Francisco Hernández-Rubio y Gómez for Juan Manuel Sánchez y Gutiérrez de Castro and his wife Genoveva de Hoces y Fernández de Córdoba, Dukes of Almodóvar del Río and Marquises of Puebla de los Infantes.

It is a construction that can be stylistically classified as part of the so-called English historicist architecture and its characteristics include asymmetry, the multiplicity of axes and the wood and brickwork, features that contrast significantly with the styles of other notable buildings in Comillas such as the eclecticism of the Palacio de Sobrellano or the modernism of Gaudí's Capricho.

The Hanging or Flying Houses, also known as the King's Houses, are a group of civil buildings located in the Spanish city of Cuenca. They are so called because some of them have cantilevered or large balconies, jutting out from the high rocky cornice of the Huécar River gorge. The only three examples of this type of building that still exist are the Casa de la Sirena and the two Casas de los Reyes, built between the 13th and 15th centuries. During medieval and modern times, the walled city of Cuenca, built over the Huecar river gorge, would have had the panoramic view of a great number of these hanging houses sprouting around the city's defensive walls. This is the nowadays look of the walls: https://d1bvpoagx8hqbg.cloudfront.net/originals/experience-cuenca-spain-roberto-98c7bdb54ca5ecbef84875a35984c4a8.jpg
