Triunfo de San Rafael de la Puerta del Puente
Triunfo de San Rafael de la Puerta del Puente, Victory column near Roman Bridge in Córdoba, Spain.
The 27-meter marble monument features Saint Raphael at its summit, accompanied by statues of Cordoban martyrs and a white stone lion.
Construction began in 1765 under Bishop Martín de Barcia's direction and French architect Michel Verdiguier completed the monument in 1781.
Latin inscriptions on the surrounding fence detail the religious and historical significance of Saint Raphael as the guardian angel of Córdoba.
The monument stands at the intersection of Torrijos Street and Amador de los Ríos Street, steps from the Mosque-Cathedral and Roman Bridge.
During the foundation excavation, workers discovered the tomb cover of Bishop Pascual, who established a hospital at this location in the 13th century.
