Review:
The Bridge Gate / Puerta del Puente originally formed part of the city walls. After the Christian conquest in the 13th century, it was made into a gateway for the road leading south out of Cordoba. It was called Algeciras Gate. In the 14th century it was redesigned in grand monumental style, in honor of the visit of Philip II. The door has a lintel and a curved,carved pediment above it. On either side are two columns, raised on platforms. It is open to the public. There is a permanent exhibition telling the story of the bridge. A balcony at the top level affords visitors a view of the city.
