Puerta de Almodóvar, Medieval city gate in Córdoba, Spain.

The Almodóvar Gate features stone battlements, defensive walkways, and thick walls that form part of the western entrance to Córdoba's old quarter.

Built around 1000 CE during Islamic rule as Bab al-Yawz, this gate underwent modifications in the 14th century following the Christian reconquest of Córdoba.

The gate stands near a bronze statue of Seneca, marking the connection between ancient Roman philosophy and the medieval architecture of Córdoba.

Located at the intersection of Calle Cairuán and the city walls, this gate provides access to the historic district and the Castle of Christian Monarchs.

This structure remains the only preserved gate from the original nine entrances constructed under the direction of Emir Abd ar-Rahman I.
