Mausoleo romano Puerta Gallegos, Roman mausoleum in Victoria Gardens, Córdoba, Spain
Two cylindrical stone funerary monuments with crenelated roofs stand beside an ancient road connecting Córdoba to Seville in Victoria Gardens.
The mausoleum complex, constructed during Emperor Tiberius reign in the first century, served as a burial site for an unidentified patrician family.
The mausoleums reflect Roman burial practices, which required placing tombs outside city limits along major communication routes to maintain urban sanctity.
Visitors need prior appointments to access the interior chambers and interpretation center, where original cornices and ash urns remain preserved.
The site contains remnants of the original Roman road pavement between two mausoleums, each measuring 13 meters in diameter.
