Map of the city of Córdoba published in Barcelona in the early 20th century by Alberto Martín, with information provided and reviewed by the city council. 

This map shows the extent of Córdoba's old town. It remained virtually unchanged after the publication of the municipal decree of 1858, which allowed the demolition of sections of the city walls and gates. Just one year later, in 1859, the railway station in the north of the city was inaugurated. Together, these two events marked the beginning of a new era of urban development in the city.

To the south, you can see the Guadalquivir River and the Roman Bridge that crossed it, the only bridge to do so for almost 2,000 years, until a second bridge was built in the mid-20th century. On the north bank, the location of what is now known as the Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba is marked in brown. On the south bank of the Guadalquivir, the Espíritu Santo neighbourhood appears.

To the west of the city, you can see how the Jardines de la Victoria served as the city limits. Since their initial creation in 1776, these gardens underwent multiple modifications and additions created by the various leaders of the city of Córdoba. Many others would occur after the publication of this map, throughout the 20th century.
