Why go
This day is for visitors who like to connect objects in a museum with the streets and river around them. The Roman Temple provides an outdoor starting point, while the Archaeological Museum gives you time with material from Córdoba’s past. Walk down to Puerta del Puente, look toward Albolafia Mill, and cross the Roman Bridge to Calahorra Tower. The bridge is the central passage of the route, so allow time to pause along it rather than treating it as a transfer. Add the C3A art centre on the south bank if you want a contemporary ending. Check the museum and tower’s current visiting details before committing to their interiors.
