The Roman bridge of Córdoba is in the Historic centre of Córdoba, Andalusia, southern Spain
It was originally built in the early 1st century across the Guadalquivir river and has been reconstructed at various times.
It is known locally as the "Old Bridge" because for two thousand years it was the city's only bridge across the river, until the construction of the San Rafael Bridge in the mid-twentieth century.
Most of the present structure dates from reconstruction by the Arabs in the 8th century. It is part of the historic centre of Cordoba.
It is included in the preserved area known as Sotos de la Albolafia. Since 1931, the bridge, together with the Puerta del Puente and the Calahorra tower, has been declared a Bien de Interés Cultural in the monument category.
It was declared a World Heritage Site in 1984.
