Roman Bridge of Córdoba

It was built in Cordoba in Roman times by the Emperor Augusto, being part of the Via Augusta. It is 225 meters length and consists of 16 round arches except for four of them which are pointed and the extreme ones that are segmental, and lean on stirrups, communicating both banks of the Guadalquivir River.

It was built using stretcher and header bond. Along History, it has suffered many reforms especially because of battles and riots. As a result, many reconstrutions have taken place, the first one in 720, acquiring its current aspect between the VIII and XIII Centuries. In the centre, it has a sculpture of St Rafael from 1651, by the sculptor Bernabé Gómez del Río.
