The Roman Bridge in Cordoba, originally built in the 1st century BC, spans the Guadalquivir River and has served as a vital crossing point for centuries. At its southern end stands the Torre de la Calahorra, a fortified gate tower that was expanded during the Islamic rule of Spain to protect the city. Together, these landmarks reflect Cordobas rich blend of Roman and Moorish heritage. |
