The marble bridge over the Guadalquivir in Cordoba was built by the Romans over 2000 years ago, I was lucky enough to walk along it in the late 70s of the last century. Its condition was unimportant, the marble was short-lived and not very suitable for transport facilities, but that bridge had a significant advantage - it was genuine!
Nearby, on the Guadalquivir embankment, there was a place where the narrator (Prosper Mé rimé e) in the autumn of 1830 met a depraved thief and robber named Carmen. This acquaintance almost cost him his life!
The next visit to this bridge, after more than 30 years, shocked! In 2010, the bridge was already called the Roman one, since nothing marble remained in it, and only the pillars remained from the Roman building. The upper part sparkled with novelty - now it is made of durable granite, it does not represent any historical and cultural value!
A few more years later, I again visited nearby, but I didn’t want to drive to the bridge - it’s insanely sorry for the lost!
