Puente romano, Roman bridge across Guadalquivir River in Córdoba, Spain
The stone bridge stretches 247 meters over the Guadalquivir River with sixteen arches supported by robust spurs and cylindrical buttresses.
Built in the first century BC during Augustus reign, the bridge received major modifications in 918 under the orders of Al-Samh ibn Malik al-Khawlani.
The central monument to San Rafael from 1651 marks the connection between the Cathedral district and Campo de la Verdad neighborhood.
The structure serves as a pedestrian pathway connecting the Calahorra Tower and city center, with multiple photography points along its length.
Only two of the sixteen arches, the fourteenth and fifteenth, maintain their original Roman construction, displaying ancient engineering techniques.

The historical monuments of Córdoba document architectural development from the 1st to the 20th century. The Mosque-Cathedral with its 856 columns forms the centerpiece of the religious heritage. The Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos with its terraced gardens and the Roman bridge over the Guadalquivir River bear witness to the Roman and Moorish past. The archaeological site of Medina Azahara lies outside the city and displays the remains of the 10th-century palace city. Medieval churches and Renaissance palaces line the historic center. Traditional courtyards with fountains and flowers characterize the residential quarters of the old town.
