The Plaza de la Puerta del Rincón owes its name to the fact that it was the place where an arch was erected where the wall that surrounded the axerquia and the one that came from the Osario gate converged. The latter was recovered and can be seen today, given its great archaeological value as the line of wall that protected the southeast corner of the city from Roman times until the fall of the Umayyads in the 11th century. However, the tower seems to be of late medieval construction, although it is possible that it was built in earlier stages.
In this square we can get one of the most coveted photos of the Cordoba Courtyards Festival, as it is the place chosen to install the bronze sculpture that celebrates the declaration of this festival as Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by Unesco, and which occupies so many of the covers. Inaugurated on 29 April 2014, it is the work of the sculptor Juan Manuel Belmonte and represents a woman watering the plants using the typical cane and tin utensil, still in use by the most tradition-conscious caretakers.
