Historic centre of Córdoba in the context of "Roman walls of Córdoba"

The Roman Walls of Córdoba are the ancient Roman defensive walls of the Roman colonia of Corduba –present-day Córdoba, Spain–, capital of the Roman province of Hispania Baetica. Stretching 2,650 metres (8,690 ft), they were built after the Romans captured the city in 206 BC to defend the ancient Roman town as part of the Roman Republic. 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.
