Roman Bridge of Córdoba Review

The ancient Roman bridge, the ancient landmark of Cordoba, spans the Guadalquiville River and connects the old and new city. The 16-hole stone arch bridge, which is 238 meters long and 16 meters wide, was built in the ancient Roman era (about the 1st century AD), and the Moorish era was expanded (after the 8th century AD) and formed the existing scale. On the banks of the river, the old and strong stone bridges and the elegant and atmospheric skyline of the old town on the north bank are reflected; Look carefully - the pier arch retains a thousand years of imprint, highlighting the wisdom of the ancestors (the pier's waterfront side is a tip shape, the back water side is a round end shape, which reduces the impact of the river on the pier, but also slows the water flow to the river bed). Walking across the bridge, the square stone bridge, the solid concrete bridge railing, has 80% new color; in the middle of the bridge, the white statue of the patron saint of Cordoba, the angel of San Rafael, is also a scene.

The ancient Roman bridge under the sunset is one of the most beautiful scenery of Cordoba, which is more than 2,000 years old and witness the changes of the ancient city of Cordoba. The sculpture on the bridge is the angel of Cordoba, the patron saint of Cordoba.

The view from here was great. The deep blue Spanish sky shines very well.

The ancient Roman bridge is built next to the Grand Mosque, built of boulders, and the biggest beauty is to enjoy the sunset and night view on the bridge. The bridge is also characterized by asymmetry. The bridge is pointed on one side and the pier on the other side is round, which is said to be related to the direction of the water flow.

The geographical location of the Grand Mosque and the Palace of Cordoba is very important. I thought about using the river as a natural barrier to protect my ancient city. The ancient Roman bridge must have played an important role in that year. The bridgehead on the other side of the river is built with military fortifications and is not small. Today, there is also a god sacrifice in the center of the ancient Roman bridge, and the music of accordion and violin is constantly heard on the bridge, so that visitors can enjoy the grandeur of the Roman bridge architecture in the music of the music.

Cordoba is a small city, but it is very historic. From the Grand Mosque, which is now the cathedral, is the gate, and there is an ancient bridge by the river leading to the outside of the old city. At night, it is even more special. Relatively speaking, there are fewer tourists, but the photos are not as good as the ones taken during the day.
