Walls & Gates
The Romans were the first to build a wall in Cordoba. However, when the Muslims arrived in 711, they found the walls in such a state of ruin and abandonment (the same would happen with the bridge on the Guadalquivir river) that it took several years for their reconstruction. Cordoba was known by chroniclers of that time as "The city of the seven gates". Today only three of those seven gates still stand.
