Puerta de Almodóvar
A medieval gate on the western side of the Jewish Quarter, with the old city wall, a remnant moat pool and a statue of Seneca as the classic entrance.
The Puerta de Almodóvar is one of the best-preserved medieval gates in Córdoba's old town. It dates back to the Islamic period, was remodelled in the 14th century, and has two square towers flanking the arch. Outside, beside the city wall, a stretch of pool (a remnant of the old moat) and gardens hold a statue of Seneca, the Roman philosopher born in Córdoba. Passing through the gate takes you straight into the Jewish Quarter. Free.
