Alcázar y Puerta de Córdoba, Roman gate and fortress in Carmona, Spain
The Gate of Cordoba features two octagonal defensive towers flanking a central entrance with stone masonry walls dating from the first century.
Built during the reign of Emperor Augustus, this gate marked the eastern entrance to ancient Carmona and formed part of the Via Augusta network.
The monument incorporates architectural elements from Roman, Islamic, and Christian periods, with an 18th-century painting of Virgin of Grace in the main span.
Visitors can access the interpretation center of the Gate of Cordoba, which opened in 2005, through advance reservations at the local tourism office.
Archaeological research revealed two additional smaller gates that were sealed in the second century, with their remains now integrated into adjacent buildings.
