A vestige of the ancient Roman era, the Puente Romano is a 16-arched bridge, which spans the Río Guadalquivir. The bridge was originally built after Caesar's victory over Pompey the Great.

 Later, a Moorish bridge was built on the foundations of the Roman bridge. Sitting at one end of the bridge is the Calahorra Tower, a historic monument that now houses the Alive Museum of Al-Andalus.

 This museum explores the religious and cultural elements that have formed the Andalusian identity, as well as celebrates the products of this culture, from the arts to the sciences.
