A fortification was built to protect the Roman bridge over the Guadiana River by establishing a permanent garrison

Built during the reign of Abd-al-Rhaman II, Emir of Cordoba, it was intended to protect the Roman bridge over the Guadiana River by establishing a permanent garrison. From the Arab period, it only preserves the underground cistern, fed by the infiltration of the river water. It can be accessed by two staircases and the walls with columns of Visigothic origin decorated with vegetal themes stand out. During the visit, we will also find remains from excavations: Roman houses, sections of the Roman road, calzada and old wall.

Visite de l'Alcazaba Arabe à Mérida, Espagne
A Mérida, en Espagne, l’Alcazaba Arabe permet d’imaginer le lieu où vivait jadis la garnison grâce aux quelques vestiges restant et aux grandes dimensions du site. J’ai été particulièrement intéressée par d’autres vestiges retrouvés, notamment ceux d’une maison et de voies romaines. Il est également possible de se promener sur une partie des murailles pour bénéficier de magnifiques points de vue sur le Pont Romain. Inclus dans les visites du Pass. A voir !
