Roman Bridge of Córdoba
The Roman Bridge of Cordoba dates originally to the 1st century BC, though what stands today is largely the result of many centuries of rebuilding and repair, most recently restored for pedestrian use only. It connects the old town, dominated by the Mezquita, to the Calahorra Tower fortification on the opposite bank.
It's a simple, free thing to do, walk across for the view back toward the Mezquita and the river, especially attractive at sunset or with evening lighting. It also appeared as a filming location in Game of Thrones, which added a layer of pop-culture recognition to what was already one of the city's most photographed spots.
