Hiking

At the southern end of the Roman Bridge stands the Torre de la Calahorra de Córdoba, an enclave of control and defense since ancient times, mentioned in some Arab source on al-Andalus, and in numerous historical references from the Christian conquest of Córdoba to the present day . Its architecture reflects its successive renovations. The horseshoe arch would function as a door attached to the bridge, and its rectangular enclosure flanked by towers would be reinforced in the 12th century.

The old fortress is located directly at the Roman bridge, called Puente Romano. The bridge leads to the old town.
