Location: 
The Roman Bridge connects the southern core of the city, known as Campo de la Verdad, with the northern core through the Historic Centre. On each side is the Calahorra Tower and the Puerta del Puente (Bridge Gate). 

Origin: 
We do not know its specific origin; however, reference is made to a bridge, perhaps made of wood, in the Bellum Hispaniense written by Julius Caesar. This wooden bridge would give way to another stone bridge, dating from the 1st century AD, which has been constantly restored throughout its 20 centuries of history. 
The most important reforms took place in the Caliphate period, after the reconquest and lastly in the 21st century- perhaps the most conflictive of all as it ended up replacing and concealing characteristic elements of its past. 

Use: 
Until the middle of the 20th century, it was the only bridge in Cordoba, and part of Andalusia (the Isabel II Bridge or Triana Bridge in Seville was built in 1845), where the Guadalquivir River could be crossed and, therefore, the most important point of communication between the South and North of the Iberian Peninsula. 
From its creation, it had been open to road traffic, identifying itself as part of the Via Augusta and the national IV road originating in Madrid. This was until 2004, when it was restricted to pedestrian use only. 
Today it is one of the focal points for the growing number of tourists visiting the city, from where you can enjoy spectacular views of the river, the Sotos de la Albolafia and the historical centre.
