Gate of Almodóvar

The Puerta de Almodóvar is a gate of Arabian origin that provided access to the interior of the Roman walls of the city of Córdoba in Spain. Its name originates from the old road that connected this gate with the town of Almodóvar del Río, which is approximately 23 kilometers from Córdoba. It was also known by other names during the Arabian era, such as the Gate of Nogal (Bab al-Chawz) or the Gate of Badajoz. It is one of the three remaining gates of Córdoba's medieval wall, preserved alongside the Puerta del Puente and the Seville Gate. However, it is the oldest and least modified of the group. It is part of the historic center of Córdoba, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.
