Calahorra Tower
Torre de la Calahorra
An Islamic-era gate tower at the south end of the Roman Bridge, housing a museum of Al-Andalus life, with a top floor overlooking the old town.
The Calahorra Tower is an Islamic-era fortified tower guarding the southern end of the Roman Bridge, reinforced in the 14th century. Inside is the 'Living Museum of Al-Andalus', which uses models, wax figures and audio guides to present the 10th-century coexistence of Muslims, Jews and Christians in Córdoba. Exhibits include models of the Mosque and the Alhambra. Admission is about €5. From the top of the tower you can look across the river at the Roman Bridge and a panoramic view of the Mosque-Cathedral.
