Torre Alminar de San Juan, Ancient minaret in Plaza de San Juan, Córdoba, Spain.
The Torre Alminar de San Juan features twin horseshoe arches supported by marble columns and stands at 10.92 meters with a square base of 3.70 meters.
Built during the 9th or early 10th century under Emir Abd al-Rahman II, the minaret served as a prayer call tower for the original mosque.
The minaret represents the transformation of Islamic religious structures after the Christian conquest in 1236, when it became part of the Church of San Juan.
Located at Plaza de San Juan 4, this monument underwent restoration works between 2018 and 2020 to preserve its structural integrity and historical elements.
This structure remains the only intact minaret from the Qurtuba period in Córdoba, maintaining its original Umayyad architectural characteristics without major modifications.
