The Molino de la Albolafia is located very close to the Roman bridge and on the right bank of the Guadalquivir. It was built by Abd al-Rahman II to bring water from the river to the emirs' palace via an ingenious aqueduct.
The mill has a restored naura or water wheel, which was originally ordered to be dismantled by Queen Isabella La Católica because of the noise it produced near the Alcázar, the royal residence. This mill has been part of the city's coat of arms since the fourteenth century.

Scattered along the riverbed, christened by the Arabs as Guadalquivir (“great or copious river”) as it passes through the World Heritage city, are what were once symbols of the milling industry in Córdoba, which today remain inserted in an unparalleled landscape setting, silent witnesses to the city's evolution.
