Configuration of the Group of Monuments of
Cordoba. A new urban enclave for Cordoba
2003-2008
The Roman Bridge of Cordoba, flanked by the Puerta delPuente Gate on one side and by La Calahorra Tower on the
other, has been the only North-South access link in the city
for centuries. Inseparably linked to the historical evolution
of Cordoba and its river, it has also been the construction
which has undergone the most transformations as the years
have passed, as a result of its role as the main communication
link, its defensive role and the rises in the level of the
Guadalquivir river, which have significantly changed its original
appearance.
The Action Plan by the Regional Ministry of Public Works and
Transportation of the Junta de Andaluca for the Roman
Bridge and Surrounding Area of the Puerta del Puente Gate
and La Calahorra Tower, attempts to return the past splendour
of this emblematic Cordovan enclave, a witness to the historic
evolution of the city, in addition to giving it a cultural function
and tourist appeal.
Furthermore, this restoration will add to the consolidation
and revaluation of the Cordovan project as a candidate for
the cultural capital of Europe in 2016.
This Plan will act as the culmination to the set of actions
carried out by the town council and other public administrativebodies, integrating the city with the Guadalquivir River, in
the southern area of the historic centre.
This new project by the Junta de Andaluca, is of particular
importance as it encompasses the Group of Monuments,
declared Heritage of Mankind, and provides access to the
city. It will have a significant impact in cultural and tourist
spheres in Cordoba and furthermore, will act as a clearexample for the urban policy which the Junta de Andaluca
is currently developing.

INTERVENTIONS
The project by the Junta de Andaluca Regional Government forthe restoration of this architectural and historical-monumentalheritage is based on three main interventions:
The integral restoration of the three monuments whichmake up the group: the Roman Bridge over the Guadalquivirriver , the Puerta del Puente Gate and La Calahorra Tower
Highlighting its present architectural-historical features and otherfeatures which, due to inadequate intervention work from aheritage point of view, have been altered. These features mustbe restored in order to facilitate a true, comprehensive, integralinterpretation of this group of three monuments.
Fitting out the entire public space on both river banks,which make up the Group of Monuments, for itsimprovement and integration into the urban structure
Carrying out the works in line with the cultural and tourist
emblematic character of the monuments, thus, creating a mainlypedestrianised space. Adjusting the grade lines in the surroundingareas at both ends of the Puerta del Puente Gate in order torecover the historical interpretation of this Group of Monuments.
Implementing an important public facility, the VisitorReception Building, in the urban area foreseen within theurban planning design
Strengthening the cultural-tourist role of this Group of Monuments.Using a high quality contemporary architecture, in line with thefeatures of the surrounding area, in order to contribute to thedefinition of an urban space between the Puerta del Puente Gateand the Mosque-Cathedral and also revaluate the exceptionalarchitectural and historical-monumental heritage of the area.
WORKS
The project undertaking the configuration of the Group ofMonuments in Cordoba is divided into seven works:
Urbanisation of the Surrounding Area of La Calahorra Towerof the Bridge
The aim of these works is to equip the whole space around LaCalahorra tower, so that it recovers its historic value, while at thesame time organising the spaces which converge in this uniqueenclave, the first of this Group of Monuments.

Restoration of La Calahorra Tower of the Bridge
These works aim to restore the whole outside wall of La Calahorratower and adapt certain installations of the present museum.
Consolidation of the Roman Bridge
The purpose of these works is to consolidate the foundationsand load bearing structure of the Bridge, in addition to restoring
the stone slab flooring which comes into contact with the waterdepth of the river.
Restoration and Urbanisation of the Roman Bridge
The aim of these works is to integrally restore the Roman Bridge,equip the road for pedestrian use, adjusting it at both ends, andrestore certain historical elements of the central structure.
Restoration of the Puerta del Puente Gate
The aim of these works is to restore all the walls of the Puertadel Puente Gate and equip its interior for permanent exhibitionand as a viewpoint.
Visitor Reception Building
The aim of these works is the construction of an emblematic
building which houses the Visitor Reception Centre of the historic
city of Cordoba, and the headquarters of the City Tourist Board.
Therefore, this building will have exclusive spaces required for
this function, including a large projection room to give a
presentation of the city of Cordoba to the visitors.
Urbanisation of the Surrounding Area of the Puerta del
Puente Gate
The aim of these works is to equip the entire space for mainly
pedestrian use, returning the historic appearance to the Puerta
del Puente Gate, which results in a slight depression where theRoman Bridge and the River bank in this enclave meet.
In total, the project is divided into seven interventions, involvinga total investment of an estimated 30,000,000 euros over five
years.

Urbanisation of the Surrounding Area of La Calahorra Tower
The first intervention in the Action Plan is focused on the restoration
of the Surrounding Area of La Calahorra Tower, an Arab
construction by origin which, following several m odifications,
became a defense fortress at the time of Henry II of Castile (14th
century). The topography of this surrounding area and, thus, its
historical traces have changed as a consequence of hydraulic
requirements. The purpose of this intervention is to provide aneasier interpretation of the successive transformations which the
site has undergone.
This work will complete the work already carried out, with the
purpose of channelling the Guadalquivir river where it passes
through the city of Cordoba. This has involved, among other
objectives, the removal of the structures attached to the La
Calahorra Tower and the Roman Bridge. The intervention work
also includes the relation of the Tower to the river and the thicketof the Sotos de la Albolafia, in addition to the lower park walkway
in the Parque de Miraflores.
The aim ofthe Urbanisation Works in the Surrounding Area
of La Calahorra Tower is to equip the whole space around La
Calahorra Tower, so that it recovers its historic value, while at the
same time organising the spaces which converge in this unique
enclave, the first of this Groups of Monuments.
This project which has a deadline of 24 months and an estimateof 1,732,487 euros, has the following aims:
Create a new urban space opening onto the river, using the
present historical elements, which joins the Parque de Miraflores
with theAvenida de Fray Albino and forms the pedestrian
access to the Roman Bridge.
Return the complete appearance to La Calahorra Tower, at the
downstream area of the Bridge. At the upstream area, uncover
the Roman arch constructed by Henry II of Castile which issupported on the buttress joined to the cutwater of the last
arch in the Roman Bridge.

Integrate the remains of the walled enclosure into the area of
the monuments. These remains are probably from the Almohad
period, and appeared in the surrounding area of La Calahorra
Tower.
Create a garden and riverside walk as a continuation of the
lower park walkways of the Parque de Miraflores, which will
also act as the entrance to the mills and the natural monument
of the Sotos de la Albolafia.
The intervention will focus on the following actions:
Continuity of the road between theAvenida de Fray Albino
and the access road to the Parque de Miraflores with wide
pedestrian walkways and a bicycle lane.
Remodelling of the limestone wall constructed in the 1960swhich includes a moat, forming a route at the base of the
barbican; this will act as a continuation of the lower walkway.
Remodelling of defence wall, between the La Calahorra Tower
and theAvenida de Fray Albino, incorporating access ramps
and stairways into the lower walkway.
Fitting out the surrounding area with pink granite paving stones,
specially designed urban fittings, streetlights and handrails.
Construction of a wooden and steel footbridge under the last
arch of the Bridge in order to link the walkways on each sideof the Roman Bridge, which will be realized along with the
Restoration, Urbanization, and Consolidation of the Bridge.
When this integral remodelling project, which includes these
works, has been completed, the Surrounding Area of La
Calahorra Tower will be transformed into a strong architectural,
urban, cultural and tourist enclave in Cordoba. In it, the Almohad
walled enclosure, La Calahorra Tower, the area of the Parque deMiraflores and the future Provincial Museum of Fine Arts will
converge.

The Restoration of La Calahorra Tower is included in the
intervention work of the Group of Monuments in the Action
Plan being carried out by the Junta de Andaluca. This construction
has undergone continuous transformations: originally a single-
arched gate providing access to the bridge, from the Christian
conquest in 1236, it became a defence fortress. Following severaladditions to the Arab construction, it took on its appearance as
a defence fortress during the time of Henry II of Castile (14th
century), and it is this fortress which can be seen today.
Nevertheless, La Calahorra Tower has continuously been the
subject of successive repairs and has been adapted for various
uses. The last of these took place in the 1950s with the purpose
of giving it a more modern appearance as a monument and adapt
it as a city museum. At present, this building is allocated to theRoger Garaudy Foundation, and holds a permanent exhibition of
10th century Cordoba.
The purpose of the Restoration Works of La Calahorra Tower
is to restore the complete outside walls so that the extension
stages of the monument during the 14th century are reflected
in the bonding, dimensions of the ashlars and decoration.
Furthermore, an attempt will be made to adapt the interior of
the present museum.
This project which has a deadline of 20 months and an estimate
of 2,290,099 euros, has the following aims:
Restoration and consolidation of the outer walls of the La
Calahorra Tower, to prevent the progressive erosion of the
ashlars.
Restoration of the walls and battlements of the barbican.
Restoration of elements which have been eroded or went
missing with the passing of time.

Replacement of the roof and restoration of the patio in the
barbican.
Replacement of some installations of the present exhibition
space in its interior.
In pursuit of these aims, the intervention work in La Calahorra
Tower will include the following:
Cleaning of the outer parameters, removing the accretions
caused by climatological, biological and chemical agents.
Restitution of the missing pieces in the ashlars with lime mortar
to return their original aspect, or replacement with new ashlars.
Sanitation, strengthening and stabilisation of the stoneworkor elements of the barbican, where the damage is more
extensive.
Construction of a new roof.
Renovation of the patio paving in the barbican, with a drainage
and water channelling system.
Adaptation of the interior electricity and air-conditioninginstallations.
La Calahorra has continuously undergone transformations and
building processes; for centuries, new parts have been added to
the building, and in some cases, there have been no evident links
with the pre-existing stonework. As a result, there are differences
in the quality, state and origins of the stones used in La CalahorraTower. Therefore, it has been necessary to apply different methods
during the restoration process.

The Action Plan for the Group of Monuments which is being
developed by the Junta de Andaluca Regional Government
encompasses two significant interventions in the Roman Bridge of
Cordoba. This monument is of special significance to the city not
only as a wonderful display of architecture and civil engineering, but
also for its function as a communication and trade link.
The Roman Bridge has been the only access route communicating
Baja Andaluca with the rest of the Kingdom of Castile for many
centuries. It was not until the end of the 1950s of the last century
that the San Rafael bridge was built in Cordoba to cross from one
side of the river to the other.
The obligatory, exclusive use of the Roman Bridge for more than 2000
years, the vicissitudes of war and, in particular, the frequent and
violent flooding caused significant damage to its stonework and, as
a result, numerous repairs and reconstructions have been carried out.
The two interventions to be carried out by the Junta de Andaluca
to the Roman Bridge of Cordoba which are considered of most
significance within the Action Plan are: the Restoration, Urbanisation
and Consolidation of the Bridge. These interventions will attempt torespect the transformations which the bridge underwent throughout
history while at the same time incorporating new changes.
The Restoration and Urbanisation Works on the Roman Bridgeaim to integrally restore the Bridge, equip the road for pedestrian
use, adjusting it at both ends, and restore certain historical elements
of the central structure.
This project, which has a deadline of 24 months and an estimate of
6,615,030 euros, has the following aims:
Restoration of all the stone elements of the Bridge following its
formal, constructive guidelines, to return its stability and original
appearance. The different size of the ashlars and the bonding
which at present are covered, will reveal the successive repairs
and reconstructions.
Restoration of the elements which, from the beginning of the
20th century, were erased by the modern interventions or
which hid or distorted the distribution of the monument.
Adjustment of the contours of the road next to La Calahorra,
altered in the early 1960s when the bridge linked the Avenida de
Fray Albino with the Paseo de la Ribera on the other side. The
aim of this is to achieve a closer image of the original historical
access to the city through the Puerta del Puente Gate
Fitting out of the Bridge to adapt it to its new use, that is, fromvehicles to pedestrian, and to the current lighting and
ornamentation requirements.

In pursuit of these aims, the intervention will focus on the following
actions.
Elimination of the ground covering and dry cleaning of the stonein the sides of the walls, cutwater and vaults. Any plants and
roots will be removed.
Restitution of the missing pieces in the ashlars with lime mortar
to return their original aspect, or replacement with new ashlars.
Removal of the constructed sections linked to La Calahorra Tower
in the 1960s.
Removal of parapet and moulded fasciae, built at the start of the
20th century, replacing it with a single limestone piece with noprojections, which is more in line with the original image.
Replacement of the current road surface with pink granite flagstones
using a cut similar to the medieval style which has been preserved.
Reconstruction of the balcony and the n iche which were removed
at the beginning of the last century.
Restoration of the San Rafael sculpture.
Replacement of current lighting with especially designed streetlightspositioned on the paving.
Ornamental lighting of the Bridge with floodlights at the cutwaters.
The Consolidation Works of the Roman Bridge aim to consolidate
the foundations and the load bearing structure of the Bridge, in
addition to restoring the slab flooring which comes into contact withthe water depth of the river; this will be carried out by using a support
of large stones preventing erosion by the water at the base of the
buttresses. This project, which has a deadline of 24 months and an
estimate of 3,230,855 euros, takes in the following aims and actions:
Application of lime grout to all the buttresses and cement grout
to the foundations and slab flooring.
Stabilising of the edge of the slab flooring, downstream, with
carbon steel sheet piling.
Cleaning of slab flooring and restoration with stone flagstones.
Cleaning and drainage of the river banks in the surrounding area
of the Bridge.
The full restoration of the Roman Bridge will provide a new image
in the future, a new face displaying the successive transformations
which it has undergone throughout history. A restoration of thisscale must be based on the consolidation of the structural elements,
guaranteeing the maximum survival of its outer appearance.

The Restoration of the Puerta del Puente Gate is one of the
seven intervention works included in the Action Plan for the Group
of Monuments which is being developed by the Junta de Andaluca
Regional Government. This monument is almost five hundred years
old. Dominating the right bank of the river, this monument, also
known as theArco del Triunfo
, has undergone many repairs and
restorations throughout its history. Curiously, the research carried
out into its origin show that the two facades of the Gate were
constructed more than 400 years apart. The south facade was built
by Hernn Ruiz in 1570 for Philip II of Spain's visit to Cordoba, and
is attached to the former Arab gate, while the north facade is dated
in 1928 and was built when the walls were knocked down.
The difference in the time of construction of both facades of thePuerta del Puente Gate explains the more extensive deterioration of
the south facade compared to the north facade. Nonetheless, this
was not the only reason for the extent of deterioration. The south
facade was also more affected by climatological factors, damp due
to its closeness to the river, pollution and erosion caused by birds
nesting there.
The Restoration Works of the Puerta del Puente Gate aim to
restore all the walls of the Gate and equip its interior for permanentexhibition and as a viewpoint, already fitted out in 1928 for this
purpose.
This project which has a deadline of 18 months and an estimate of
952,320 euros, has the following aims:
Restoration of all the architectural and sculptural elements of the
Gate, returning its original appearance.
Restoration of elements which have been eroded or went missing
with the passing of time.

Fitting-out of the interior of the Gate for its subsequent use as
a small permanent exhibition hall and viewpoint by the Cordoba
Tourist Board.
In pursuit of these aims, the intervention work in the Puerta del
Puente Gate will include the following:
Cleaning of the outer parameters, removing the accretions caused
by climatological, biological and chemical agents.
Restitution of the missing pieces in the ashlars with lime mortar
to return their original aspect, or replacement with new ashlars.
Restoration of the sculptural reliefs by means of their fixing and
consolidation.
Replacement of the staircases leading to the hall and viewpoint
for better access.
Restoration of the structural elements of the inside space of the
Gate and its roof-viewpoint.
The Restoration of the Puerta del Puente Gate is the starting
point of an operation which will return the historic appearance to
the Gate. This will be achieved by creating a slight depression where
the Bridge and Bank meet and shall be completed with the
Urbanisation of the Surrounding area, the seventh and last intervention
included in the Junta de Andalucas Action Plan.

The construction of the Visitor Reception Building is one of theinterventions included in the Action Plan for the Roman Bridge andSurrounding Area of the Puerta del Puente Gate and La Calahorra
Tower in Cordoba. This new building, located beside the Puerta delPuente Gate, will be constructed in two different sections. Thisstructure will give the appearance of two different "architectures"which will complete the historical sequence of transformations whichthis Group of Monuments has undergone. This project will completea complex and continuous set of open spaces and various structures;in their fortuitous layout and style, these display the changes in theconstruction which occurred over time.
The aim of this project is the construction of an emblematic building
which houses the visitor reception centre of the historic city ofCordoba, and the headquarters of the City Tourist Board; therefore,it will have exclusive spaces required for this function.
The new building, which has a deadline of 24 months and an estimateof 4,751,788 euros, will have the following features:
It will be comprised of two separate sections: one attached to thenorth party wall of the site and another located near the Paseode la Ribera.
A pedestrian street will run between both sections and link the
surrounding area of the Puerta del Puente Gate to the newlyopened street between calle Corregidor Luis de la Cerda and thePaseo de la Ribera.
Each of these sections will contain the following rooms:
The front section will house the function and projection room anda terrace with viewpoint.
The main purpose of this room is to act as a setting in which we canpresent the city of Cordoba to visitors. It will measure 14.60 x 15metres, seat 150 people and will have a multipurpose use.
The back section will house public spaces. These include:
Integral information areas.
A cafeteria which will seat 60 people and a shop.
Exhibition hall in which the model of the city declared Heritage
of Mankind, containing interactive panels, will be located.
Basement: toilets, offices, other complementary areas. There isalso an open-plan space which contains the unearthed walls, ofa Visigothic building from the 6th century; these are organised insuch a way that they are give the appearance that they arefloating.
This section will also house the headquarters of the Tourist Board,which includes:
Offices of management and staff in the Tourist Board.
Conference rooms.
Toilets.

15/20
Each of the two sections in the construction will contain the followingfeatures:
The front section will be lower and of a similar size to the Plaza del
Triunfo. The south facade of this section will also be moved forwardtowards the Paseo de la Ribera to provide an interior visual imageof the wall. Their architectural characteristics will be as follows:
The site will be enclosed by 4.70 metres high perimeter walls witha ground plan of 27.73 x 19.40 metres. Inside this, there will bea 219m2 dihedral structure with a stone veneer made of blackstone from Cordoba, housing the function room.
Located between this dihedral structure and the western wall willbe a patio. A basin, also from the 6th century will be restored and
positioned in this patio. The roof of the function room will also act as a viewpoint.
The back section, which will be higher than the abovementionedsection, will seal the present party wall, completing the block in frontof the Muro de la Quibla wall. Its architectural features will be asfollows:
It will have a 39.15 x 11.50 metre rectangular ground plan andmeasure 10.96 metres in height, similar to the adjoining buildings.
The interior will have a single open-plan space on three levelsilluminated by a skylight (ground floor, top floor and basementwhich will all be linked).
There will be a space between the ground and top floor, in which
a ramp will be located. From here, the visitor will be able to see
the cafeteria and shop.
It will have a panoramic lift and a suspended ramp made up of
two sections providing a view of the whole construction.
Both sections will have roofs which also act as viewpoints, allowing
the visitor to take in the spectacular views which can be seen from
this unique enclave. The architectural features of the terrace in this
section will be as follows:
Access by means of a carved staircase in the dihedral structure
and a glass lift.
Lattice paving using granite flagstones.
Water depth complemented with aquatic plants and a sculpture.
Benches on north and west sides.
The Visitor Reception Building will become a fundamental piece
for the definition of the public space in the Surrounding Area ofthe Puerta del Puente Gate. With this building, the distribution
of the urban landscape which, to date, has remained unfinished,shall be completed, converting it into the link between the new and
pre-existing architecture.

For centuries, the bank on the right-hand side of the river has
continually been elevated in order to prevent the possible effects of
the flooding of the Guadalquivir River, which progressively caused
a slight depression at the Puerta del Puente Gate as the years passed.With the construction of the muralln (sturdy wall), which was
started at the end of the 18th century and completed at the beginning
of the 20th century, when the height of the river bank was defined.
The restructuring of the section of the N-IV motorway converted the
boardwalk into an authentic barrier between the city and the river
and added to the aggression in the surrounding area of the monument,
until the motorway was constructed.
With the Urbanisation of the Surrounding Area of the Puerta del
Puente Gate, the last of the seven intervention works included in the
Action Plan which the Junta de Andaluca Regional Government is
developing, the historic appearance shall be returned to the Gate. In
pursuit of this objective, the Paseo de la Ribera will be brought to the
level of the route it had at the beginning of the 16th century, between
calle Cao Quebrado and Santa Teresa Jornet, when Hernn Ruiz
constructed the Gate, for Philip II of Spain's visit to Cordoba. An attempt
will be made to lessen the sunken appearance of the Gate and providean integral view of the monument by means of a slight depression in
the level of the avenue at this point using a gently sloping structure.
This work will complete the complete remodelling of this surrounding
area. This follows the trend which was begun in the 18th centurywhen the Plaza del Triunfo and the San Rafaelsculpture wereconstructed with the aim of modernising and opening up the citywith this unique enclave, once the wall lost its defensive value. An
attempt will be made to give a definitive shape to this square, definingthe new grade lines and its eastern boundaires with the new VisitorReception Building.
The Urbanisation Works in the Surrounding Area of the Puertadel Puente Gate have the aim of fitting out the complete space formainly pedestrian use. This will result in a slight depression wherethe Roman Bridge and Bank meet at that enclave, facilitating theelimination of the current ditch and thus, the creation of a pedestrianboardwalk passing through the Puerta del Puente Gate.
This project which has a deadline of 18 months and an estimate of5,313,608 euros, has the following aims:
Lower the grade line by 0.90 metres at the point where the RomanBridge and the Paseo de la Ribera currently meet. This loweringwill be carried out between the Paseo de la Ribera and the Murode la Quibla wall and also between calle Cao Quebrado and calleSanta Teresa Jornet.
Give continuity to the meeting point of the Bridge with theredesigned Paseo de la Ribera to the east and the Alczar and calle
Santa Teresa Jornetto the west.

Open a street which links calle Corregidor Luis de la Cerda and the
Paseo de la Ribera. This street will be in line with the facades ofthe Visitor Reception Building and the last building on the Paseode la Ribera.
The intervention will focus on the following actions:
The current road surface, without pavement, will be rebuilt between
the Gate and the Muro de la Quibla wall, as a continuation of therecently restored surface in the surrounding area of the Mosque-Cathedral.
Muros cizalla will be erected on both sides of the Gate in orderto provide a dual function to the routes: for the pedestrian route
through the Gate and for specific vehicles on both sides of the Gate.
The muralln (sturdy wall) of the Ribera on this section will be
lowered and a new stone parapet with similar features to the
present one will be built.
The bedplate will be replaced and will have a rail in the east section,
until the limit of the intervention, by a new stone parapet. Construction of a staircase on the new street in order to resolve
the uneven level between teh Plaza del Cannigo Torres Molina
and the Paseo de la Ribera.
Remodelling of the Paseo de la Ribera comprising a street of the
same level lined with trees. The space reserved for specific vehicles
will be marked out with pink granite paving stones, and there will
specially designed streetlights and urban fittings.
Creation of a balcony for panoramic viewing on the stretch of theriverside between the Bridge and the mill at La Albolafia.
Within the scope of the Urbanisation project for the
Surrounding Area of the Puerta del Puente Gate, the
Junta de Andaluca will also deal with the integral sanitation
works of the city on the right bank, in order to avoid direct
dumping in the river. They w ill provide a large collector in
the section between the end of the recent construction,
with the remodelling of the Ribera, and the p resent areaon the Paseo de la Ribera in front of calle Santa Teresa
Jornet.
