The Roman Bridge, an ancient and striking landmark of Cordoba, spans the Guadalquivir River and connects the old and new city. The 238-meter-long and 16-meter-wide 16-hole stone arch bridge was first built in the Roman era (around the 1st century AD), and was expanded in the Moorish era (after the 8th century AD) to form its current size. It was repaired many times from the 13th to the 19th century and is still in use today.
Wandering along the river, looking from afar - the old and strong stone bridge and the elegant and majestic skyline of the old city on the north bank complement each other; looking closely - the bridge piers and arches retain the marks of a thousand years, demonstrating the wisdom of our ancestors (the water-facing side of the bridge piers is pointed and the back-water side is round, which not only reduces the impact of the river on the bridge piers, but also slows down the erosion of the riverbed by the water flow).
Strolling across the bridge, the square stone slab bridge deck and solid concrete bridge railings are 80% new; in the middle of the bridge, the white statue of the patron saint of Cordoba - the Angel of Saint Raphael is enshrined, which is also a sight.
The ancient Roman bridge at sunset is one of the most beautiful views in Cordoba. The ancient bridge has a history of more than 2,000 years and has witnessed the changes of this ancient city of Cordoba. The sculpture on the bridge is the patron saint of Cordoba, the Archangel St. Raphael.
