Why go
The gate gives the bridge a strong northern threshold. The Doric columns and squared opening show how sixteenth-century Córdoba recast an older entrance in classical form. Pause here before crossing: the gate, bridge and Calahorra Tower frame one connected river approach.
What to look for
- Pairs of Doric columns flank the central passage.
- The gate stands where earlier Roman and Islamic entrances met the bridge.
Useful to know
- See the exterior while moving between Plaza del Triunfo and the Roman Bridge.
- Check official access information if you hope to use the upper viewpoint.
