I had never been to Córdoba before my memorable visit to the city on Thursday 24th November 2016. Take the toolbar links below to read about my experiences whilst there in “My Andalucia”, and also general information contained in the Cordoba” document from the lower toolbar below.This was a breathtaking and remarkable city - The Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba is the most important monument of all the Western Islamic world, and one of the most amazing in all the world. The buildings date back to the 10th century when Córdoba reached its zenith.
The Roman Bridge reflects little of its Roman roots, owing to frequent reconstruction over many decades. In the centre of the eastern side's stone handrails there is a little shrine to St Raphael, at whose feet the devout burn candles. It is, of course, unlikely that much of the original structure stands. The present structure is a medieval reconstruction, though the 19th-century cobbled paving does give a Roman feel. There is an irregular pattern to the 16 arches in size and abutment protections. You can walk over the Roman Bridge in either direction. The Roman Bridge is close to the great Mosque and leads to Torre de Calahorra at south end.
