ES: "El Molino de la Albolafia se encuentra muy próximo al puente romano y en la margen derecha del Guadalquivir. Fue mandado construir por Abd al-Rahman II para elevar el agua del río hasta el palacio de los emires a través de un ingenioso acueducto.

El molino posee una naura o noria restaurada, que en su origen fue mandada desmontar por la reina Isabel La Católica por el ruido que producía en su proximidad al Alcázar, residencia real. Este molino forma parte desde el siglo XIV del escudo de la ciudad."

EN: "This mill is situated next to the Roman Bridge on the northern bank of the River Guadalquivir. It was built under Abd al-Rahman II to carry river water up to the Emir’s palace by means of an ingenious aqueduct.

The naura or water wheel has been restored; it was dismantled by order of Queen Isabel ’La Católica’ who disliked the noise it produced so close to the Castle, the royal residence. Since the 14th century, this water wheel has appeared on the city’s coat of arms."
