The Cordoba Gate is one of Carmona's most emblematic monuments and a living testament to its ancient history. It formed part of the walled enclosure and the route of the Via Augusta, connecting Carmona with Cordoba. Its function was more propagandistic than defensive, conceived as a triumphal arch to symbolize the power and prosperity of the Roman Empire.

The current monument is the result of various reforms and restorations on the gate of the Roman walled enclosure. Its original construction is from the 1st century AD. It did not function as a fortress, but as a propaganda symbol of the Roman Empire.
