The Torre Campanario in Córdoba is an impressive structure with a rich history. Originally built in the 9th century as a minaret during the reign of Abd ar-Rahman III, it served as the muezzin's call to prayer. After the Christian reconquest in 1236, the minaret was converted into a bell tower. At 54 metres high, it is the tallest building in the city. It has only been possible to climb and visit the bell tower again in recent years. From here you can enjoy a beautiful panoramic view of the old town of Córdoba and the surrounding parks and gardens.

The tower has undergone several renovations and additions over the centuries, including the work of architects Hernán Ruiz III, Juan Sequero de Matilla and Gaspar de la Peña. The current structure has a clock and a statue of Saint Raphael on top.
