    This bridge was built in the 1st century BC. For twenty centuries, it was the only bridge, incredibly, in this important and wonderful city. It was built by the Romans, being the first stone bridge to cross the Guadalquivir River. He is believed to have built the famous “Via Augusta” bridge connecting Rome to Cádiz. The bridge is so important and imposing that some scenes from the Game of Thrones movie were shot here. The bridge is one of the most important monuments of this extraordinary city. Definitely a place to visit.

    Outside of the Great Mosque, this is the most iconic site in Cordoba. Free to enter which was not the case in antiquity. Great Views of the Cathedral mosque can be had from along the bridge. The structure is capped by an imposing tower and one and and a triumphal arch on the other

    It was a breathtaking experience crossing this OLD bridge as I imagined many millions of people having crossed in past centuries. This bridge offers vivid 360 views and is a great way to cross the river below.

    The bridge itself is impressive and worth a visit with the tower of Calahorra at the end and one of the best views of the Mosque from here. It’s a relaxing walk and great for beautiful photo opportunities. They river itself is not well maintained and although this area has changed a lot for good in the last few years…. The city needs more planning to do. They should clean the scrum debris and jungle like vegetation from the river and adapt the sides of the river for walking and exercising.

    Breathtaking bridge both in the daylight and evening. Well worth a walk over in both to see it in different lights. Not much on the opposite side to the main tourist area so not worth stopping over.

    Magnificent bridge, great attraction of Cordoba and definitely justifies the choice for game of thrones location :) the bridge seems to be packed on weekends though. We were lucky enough to be there during the three culture market festival, which made it even more interesting and fun. Seems like cordoba is January is really fun!

    Beautiful bridge leading to Cordoba’s cathedral. It was also used in Game of Thrones (however heavily used with CGI). A nice walk along the bridge gives you a wonderful view on the city. On the other side however there is not much to see.

    Game of thrones bridge. Lovely during the day and night times. Make sure to visit Tower next to the bridge, it has a nice view over the bridge towards Cathedral

    There are some really iconic views from the bridge. You should take the time to walk the grounds around the bridge and give it a chance to shine at night f your looking to take some photos as the city lights and river give it a classy romantic look you can't beat.

    Spanning the Guadalquivir River, the Roman Bridge was built in the first century BC. The bridge has undergone a number of reconstructions over the years and today only the 14th and 15th arches at the northern end (city end) are original. At the northern end stands the Puerta del Puente (Bridge Gate) and at the southern end is the Torre de la Calahorra (Calahorra Tower) which also houses a museum. The bridge is lit up and night and provides a great spot for sunset and twilight photos. During peak tourist season it is usually packed.

    A beautiful old bridge that has a nice view of the old town. It connects the old town to the old tower. People play guitar on this bridge and they have nice performances. It adds to the ambiance.

    This pedestrian only bridge is beautiful, and views of it from the side are stunning though hard to see and appreciate it whilst on it. There are also great views of the historic town whilst on it. It can get busy but is quite wide and flat so doesn’t feel overcrowded. There are a couple places to sit too.

    There has been a bridge here for 2000 years although has been rebuild many times its always been on this site. Arguably the main attraction of cordoba. A long flat bridge spanning the Guadalquivir river.

    Cordoba is beautiful we walked for hours and did 18,000 steps and everything was fabulous. The bridge just walking over was great.

  • 5/5 Rucha P. 6 months ago on Google • 189 reviews
    Must, must visit during and just after sunset. The view of Alcazar from the other end of the bridge is just phenomenal. There are also a lot of buskers on the bridge and the music makes the time spent even more beautiful.

    Nice historical bridge. While strolling across this iconic bridge, you get a picturesque view of the Guadalquivir River and the city's historic skyline. The architectural grandeur of the well-preserved Roman structure is truly awe-inspiring. Google Maps made navigating to and from this landmark a breeze, enhancing my overall experience in exploring Córdoba's rich history. Highly recommended for both history enthusiasts and casual wanderers alike!

    Beautiful and romantic bridge to be. Piano artist and violin artist make the time there sooo magical 🥰

  • 4/5 Ollie L. 9 months ago on Google
    An amazing piece of Roman architecture which provides amazing views across Cordoba and of the cathedral. There is a tower guarding the bridge at one end which gives better views of the city.

    I have so many beautiful memories on this bridge. It's so beautiful to walk during the day (although not in summer - DON'T go in summer), but at night, it is the most beautiful. If you're lucky, there will be buskers playing guitar or an accordion and the view from the other side - opposite the Mezquita - is truly something magical. An absolute must visit, when coming to Córdoba. They even have a small Marathon in June, that goes over the bridge at night - breathtaking!

    A piece of history right across from the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba and the Torre de la Calahorra. This bridge is well preserved and makes you think about how different civilizations used it getting across, you will love walking across from end to end.

  • 5/5 Gina K. 4 months ago on Google
    To get this view you need to wall all the way to the end of the roman bridge. I started walking from Puerta del Puente to this spot at the end of the bridge. It’s worth to walk! You can get a nice view and not crowded with people.

  • 5/5 Dan M. 6 months ago on Google
    Beautiful and unmissable. Not without reminding the famous Charles Bridge in Prague for its importance and central location. There should be some artists singing as well, like on the other bridge. Enjoy :)

  • 5/5 Fiodor K. 1 year ago on Google
    Spread majestically from one side of the Guadalquivir River to the other, the Roman bridge in Cordoba was built in 45 AD. In the 8th century, it was rebuilt by the Moors, then by the Christian rulers after the Reconquista, and the last changes date back to 1876. Now it is completely pedestrian.

    Love the Roman Bridge. We went our early in the morning to get some pictures before the crowd. It was nice and fresh out, and the sun was shining, making it a good time to take some pics..

  • 5/5 Stephanie R. 1 year ago on Google
    A beautiful historic bridge. Unfortunately the Guadalquivir river barely had any water, but apart from that it was amazing how to see how well preserved so many historical buildings are! It makes you use your imagination to go back in time

  • 5/5 Scott Anthony M. 1 year ago on Google
    Almost unbelievable what great condition this is for the age! I saw the river in flood which was even more impressive. I wonder how many of those this bridge has seen in its lifetime?

  • 4/5 Greg T. 1 year ago on Google
    Very impressive bridge leading to Cordoba Old Town. Very busy and nice views of the old town and river. Also plenty of birds when we were there. Lots of seats along the length so you can stop and listen to the various entertainers. We saw a piano-organ player, a drummer, a singer with a guitar and an organist on our 2 return crossings.

    It's lovely and Roman underneath, but quite modern on top. Nice for an evening stroll and a shot of the Mosque

  • 4/5 Jon Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely setting and great view of the river. An updated version, but you're still standing on over two thousand years of history. Not sure about the recent up dating to the top of the bridge. Must see though.

  • 5/5 Pavel B. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice bridge. You can feel the history on it. It’s nice that in the middle you can sit down and rest. On one end is some museum for 4.5 but we didn’t go inside.

  • 5/5 Ahmet P. 2 years ago on Google
    The bridge was first constructed in the 1st Century AD, during the Roman occupation of Cordoba, over the Guadalquivir River, (Guadalquivir means ‘big river’). It was one of the most important ways of entering the city from the south of the Iberian Peninsula because it was the only point at which one could cross the river without using some sort of boat. The bridge made Cordoba a city of strategic importance, becoming the capital of Roman Andalusia (Betica) and Muslim Al-Andalus. In fact, it has been known for many centuries as the Old Bridge.

  • 5/5 Nina M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very beautiful bridge and great walk on it. The views from the other side facing the mosque are amazing!

  • 5/5 Dan 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful bridge. Back in the days thought to slow the flow of the guadalquivir river. Nowadays the water line is a lot lower then back in the days.

  • 5/5 Rand A. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful bridge that takes you to the cathedral, with wonderful views of the city and river Guadalquivir. Benches on both side to sit and enjoy the views

  • 5/5 US6666 9. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful. Especially at night. Walking on Bridge full with people pass midnight. Even during covid-19 in Aug 2021.

  • 5/5 Kianyi N. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing views I would like to see how it looks at night as well

  • 3/5 Deepblue S. 2 years ago on Google
    The Roman bridge gives a nice view to the cathedral and to the river. It's wide so it's nice to have a stroll on in the afternoon. On the other end there's a small Roman edifice that you can visit. But it was already closed when I got there. I give three stars because while the bridge is nice, there's not so many things you can find on it, unlike bridges in Rome where statues lining up bridge sides.
