The Puerta del Puente (Spanish: "Gate of the Bridge") is a Renaissance gate in Córdoba, Andalusia
History
The gate is located on the site of previous Roman and Moorish gates, which united the city to the Roman Bridge.
The construction of a new, larger and more modern gate was commissioned to architect Hernán Ruiz III by the city's governor Alonso González de Arteaga on 18 February 1572.
The structure has a central square passage, sided by two couples of Doric columns, surmounted by a Classic-style entablature.
