The Roman Bridge of Cordoba is located over the Guadalquivir River as it passes through Cordoba, and links the Campo de la Verdad neighbourhood with the Cathedral Quarter. It is also known as the Old Bridge, as it was the only bridge in the city for twenty centuries, until the construction of the San Rafael Bridge in the mid-20th century. On January 9th, 2008, the largest and most controversial remodeling that the Roman Bridge has had in its history was inaugurated.
Since 1931, the bridge, together with the Puerta del Puente and the Calahorra tower, has been declared a Site of Cultural Interest in the Monument category.1 It is also part of the historic centre of Cordoba, which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1994.
