Roman Mausoleum of Córdoba

Roman Mausoleum of Córdoba
VIATOR IMPERI · CC BY-SA 2.0

Two cylindrical Roman funerary monuments in the Jardines de la Victoria, Cordoba, dating to the mid-1st century AD and considered the most significant Roman funerary monuments in the city. Each measures 13 metres in diameter and preserves the burial chamber that housed cinerary urns, along with remnants of the base, cornices, and battlemented parapet. Their design is unusual for the Iberian Peninsula, suggesting an Italic architect drew inspiration from imperial Roman models. Discovered in 1993, one mausoleum has been restored and houses an Interpretation Centre for Funeral Monuments.
