Abstract

This work focuses on the analysis of the works of excavation and restoration in a series of historic monuments of Cordoba by Antonio Cruz Conde during his time in office (1951-1962). He worked at the Roman temple of Claudio Marcelo Street, the Alcazar of Christian Kings, the Calahorra Tower, the West walls and the Corredera Square. This article will explore his contributions to the archaeology and heritage of Cordoba and provide a comparison with what was achieved in the last years of the 20th and first years of the 21th centuries.
