Torre Calahorra Review

During the Moorish rule, the tower of Calaola was built to protect the ancient Roman bridge. Two square towers, like mighty fighters, stood on both sides of the bridge at the southern end. After the Catholic Church recovered the lost land, the tower was expanded in the 14th century, and a third was added in parallel to the original two towers. With the vastness of the Guadalquivier River, it has become the southern gate of Cordoba and the military fortress that resists foreign enemies and is easy to defend. Today, the tower of Karaoula has been converted into an Andalusian museum, focusing on Cordoba's Islamic civilization. Among them, the model of the Great Mosque, which is restored proportionally, is most exquisite and eye-catching.

This tower is connected to the ancient Roman bridge, across the river, the tower body presents an irregular shape, I don't know if it has been damaged to do this, not grand, I think it is general.

This tower is located on the side of the ancient bridge, looking at the general, walking to the bottom of the tower still feels quite magnificent, it connects the ancient bridge, at the time to hold this strategic place, has a very important defensive function.

The south gate of the Roman bridge, formerly the south gate of the bridgehead and the south gate of Córdoba, is now a small museum that shows the social life conditions at the peak of the Moorish rule of Córdoba, small in scale, and interested friends can go and see.

The Tower of La Ola (Torre de la Calahorra ) and the Roman Bridge are across the Guadakiwi River. This white building with a strong Islamic style is also an important military fortress during the ancient Islamic rule. Because of its help of the vastness of the Guadakiwi River, It was once a fortress that was easy to defend.
