Roman Walls of Córdoba

The Roman Walls of Córdoba are ancient defensive fortifications from the Roman colony of Corduba, which served as capital of Hispania Baetica province. Built after Rome captured the city in 206 BC, the walls stretched approximately 2,650 metres (8,690 ft), encircling the settlement. Remaining sections and vestiges now form part of Córdoba's historic center, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.[1]
