Beautiful Arab tower with views of the city of Córdoba. Easily accessible from the Mirador de las Niñas

One of the vestiges of the Caliphate period can be found in the mountains of Córdoba, less than 15 minutes by car from the capital. It is an ancient watchtower, a lookout from where you can enjoy one of the most impressive views of Córdoba and the Guadalquivir valley. Despite its name, it is actually an octagonal tower, meaning it has eight corners. However, inside it has a square floor plan, with each side measuring approximately 3.40 meters. Built of masonry, a construction method in which irregular stones are joined with mortar, a conglomeration of lime, sand and water without any order of courses. Originally, this tower was part of a network of watchtowers that surrounded the Caliphate of Córdoba and was visually connected to other towers. The Tower of the Seven Corners, despite its poor condition, is a popular destination for cyclists and hikers. A visit to this place can be combined with a visit to the Hermitages of Cordoba, the Baths of Poppaea and the Fountain of the Elephant.
