Torre de la Malmuerta is what remains of an old city gate. The structure was built in the early 15th century as one of several gates around the city.

Built in the early 15th century. This is a minor attraction. This albarrana tower is a defensive gate built to defend Cordoba. It was inspired by a similar gate in Seville.
