Cordoba is one of the oldest cities in Spain, since the city's history begins with the reign of the Romans here. Since then, many centuries have passed, but the echoes of stay of Cordoba under the authority of Rome remained. One of these reminders is a Roman bridge in Cordoba.

This monumental structure, which existed for centuries, is now located in the historic center of the city. The length of the bridge is a structure of 16 arched spans of 250 meters. Roman bridge was built in the early I century AD during the reign of Octavian Augustus. The bridge is an important strategic object, because it was the only crossing over the River Guadalquivir, and is a segment of the August road that connected Rome and Cadiz. During the reign of the territory of the Spanish provinces Moors bridge was reconstructed. After the end of the Reconquest it was restored again. Currently, from the original Roman bridge survived only by his foundation, the rest being rebuilt. May 1, 2004 was blocked by toll bridge for vehicles, and the Roman bridge became pedestrian.

On the south side of the bridge is an ancient fortress - Calahorra Tower, located on the northern shore of the Puerta del Puente Gate. In 1651 Roman bridge adorned with a sculpture of the Archangel Raphael - revered patron of Cordoba.

In 1931, the Roman bridge was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From 2006 to 2008, the bridge was closed for renovation.
