Roman Bridge

The Roman bridge of Cordoba

The Roman bridge has crossed the Guadalquivir since Antiquity, at the foot of Cordoba. The Cordoba audio-guided tour stops here to evoke this emblematic structure, which links the city to the Calahorra tower and offers a magnificent view over the Mosque-cathedral.

An ancient bridge over the Guadalquivir

Of Roman origin, the bridge of Cordoba spans the Guadalquivir and was part of the great roads of Antiquity. Rebuilt and restored over the centuries, it lines up many stone arches between the Gate of the Bridge, on the city side, and the Calahorra tower, on the other bank. In its middle stands a statue of the archangel Saint Raphael, protector of the city. The bridge offers one of the finest views over the Mosque-cathedral and the historic centre.

What to see

Here you cross the Guadalquivir on the stone arches of the ancient bridge, admiring the statue of Saint Raphael and one of the finest views over the Mosque-cathedral and the city.
