The village of Castellfollit de la Roca in Catalonia, Spain, attracts tourists with its unique and strange "precarious" beauty on the cliffs.
Castellfollit de la Roca is located on a basalt cliff, with the narrowest part just enough to build two houses facing each other. According to Times of India.
The houses at a height of nearly 50m seem to be about to collapse, sinking into the Fluvia or Toronell rivers at the foot of the cliff at any moment. According to Times of India.
Castellfollit de la Roca has a population of just over 1,000 and is located in the Garrotxa Volcanic Nature Reserve. According to Times of India.
The prismatic cliff where the village is located consists of two parts, formed about 217,000 years ago and 192,000 years ago, according to Times of India.
At the end of the cliff is the Josep Pla observatory square, from where visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of the natural landscape here. According to Times of India.
One of the village's most prominent landmarks is the 13th-century old church of Sant Salvador. According to Times of India.
Besides the dark colors and old-fashioned features, a part of the village was newly built quite modernly. According to Times of India.
Despite the rugged terrain, people here still live and work normally in these precarious houses on the cliffs. According to Times of India.
The main street of Castellfollit de la Roca winds through the entire town, small and seemingly squeezed by the houses straining against the cliffs on both sides. According to Times of India.
