Almodovar Gate

This gate dates back to the 14th century, and marks the entrance to Córdoba’s Jewish Quarter. There was even a gate here during Muslim rule, and earlier in Roman times. It was one of nine gateways built into the old city walls, three of which are still visible today. While it was restored in the 19th century, it has preserved its medieval features, including crenellations and a walkway along the ramparts. It’s named after the road it once led to, the route to Almodóvar, one of the most developed fortified towns in the region. This gate gives us a striking glimpse into the Córdoba of the Middle Ages.
