I wanted to share with you my experience visiting the beautiful bridge during our recent tour. The history surrounding it is truly remarkable, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of awe as we crossed it. Although our tour only allowed us to cross the bridge, I discovered that the inside of the tower is equally fascinating and definitely worth exploring further. The views from the top must be stunning, and I now regret not taking the time to climb up and admire the surroundings. The sight of the río Guadalquivir flowing beneath the bridge added to the charm of the whole experience. Despite the slightly chilly weather, the clear blue sky and peek of sun made the day even more enjoyable. I highly recommend taking the time to explore the tower on your next visit. I believe it will offer a different perspective and enhance your overall experience of this historical site. Looking forward to hearing about your own adventures at the bridge and tower.

This museum is thoroughly mediocre. The content is disjointed and felt more like an assemblage of cast offs from older museums than any kind of coherent story about the region or even the tower itself. The audio guides are frustrating in their functionality and the content isn’t very interesting either. There’s almost more music than speaking on the recordings, which might be nice if they put any of it in some kind of context. It all just feels a little half baked! That all being said, the view from the top of the tower is very cool. It’s a nice vantage point for the Roman bridge and the city across the river. If this had been a €2-3 admission I wouldn’t be so annoyed but at €4.50 it’s a bit of a bust. For the money I’d recommend going to any of the several other taller towers and pay less for a better view.

A superb museum, cool respite from Cordoba’s searing heat. It covers 4 floors opening up to an open-air view of Cordoba from across the river (and the Roman Bridge). The exhibits cover the Islamic period in Spain and are very well curated. Each guests receives an audio guide, which you use as a phone device and punch in the numbers of the exhibits for commentary. The commentary is really educational and interesting. There are some brilliant scale models of the old city and the grand mosque. The scenes (in manicure) depicting daily life were my favourite. Very child friendly. Free for under 8s and all children can have an audio guide. It’s entertaining enough for little children and the tower itself is great fun for them to be in. Highly recommended.

Cordoba is a tower located at the southern end of the Roman bridge. An old defensive tower of Muslim origin was remodeled and fortified in the 14th century by Enrique II of Trastamara. The tower can be visited and houses a small Andalusian museum. Various things are on display inside. The entrance fee was pretty cheap. There is an audio-visual about the history of the city and several models on daily life in Muslim times. There are also two copies of the Alhambra in Granada and the Mezquita in Córdoba. From the highest part, the view of both the Roman bridge and the mosque and the Alcázar de los Reyes Cristianos is magnificent. Climbing to the top, you will be faced with an excellent view.

If you like historical buildings you will definitely like it here. I will be honest, the building didn’t really interest me, it just reminded me of playing assassins creed and scaling the building in game it was a meh for me. But hold up, the gardens/jardines were spectacular. Absolutely worth every euro to go and visit them. In fact, I think it’s quite a bargain at 5 euros each to go and enjoy some beautiful nature. It was so pretty and we spent the bulk of our time wondering around the gardens. Beautiful and well done to the gardeners who maintain it so well, well done guys!

ONLY GO WHEN IT IS NOT TOO BUSY. Unfortunately it's not well designed to handle busy times. The audio guide works in batches and it's a pain when someone comes in the room and resets it. If you find someone leapfrogging you can can do the rooms out of order. There is nothing historical left but they have made some nice models including an odd choice of the Castle in Granada. Nice view from the top. Not too expensive too.
