[1] The sections of wall still standing and the rest of its vestiges, now form part of the historic center of Córdoba, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984.
[2] Built as fortifications soon after the Romans captured Córdoba, the walls stretched some 2,650 m (8,690 ft), completely surrounding the city.
When the city received the status of Colonia Patricia under Augustus, the southern wall was demolished in order to extend the city limits to the river.
Vestiges remain in the Alcázar, near the Roman bridge, and flanking the Avenida de la Ribera.
The arches next to the Puerta de Sevilla to the east are part of a Roman aqueduct.
