In this place of Alcázar there is this tree and the inscription in the wall with a poem of Marcial that puts:
“EN TIERRAS TARTESAS HAY UNA CASA CELEBERRIMA
ALLA DONDE LA CÓRDOBA VIENTA SE MIRA EN EL PLACIDO
EN MEDIO Y ABARCANDO TODA LA MORADA
SE ALZA EL PLÁTANO DE CESAR DE ESPESA CABELLERA
QUE LA DIESTRA FELIZ DEL HUESPED INVICTO PLANTO
COMENZANDO SU TRONCO A CRECER DESDE SU MANO
OH ARBOL DEL GRAN CESAR, OH AMADO DE LOS DIOSES
NO TEMAS EL HIERRO NI EL FUEGO SACRILEGO. MARCIAL.”
EN: "IN THE LANDS OF TARTESAS THERE IS A CELEBRATED HOUSE THERE WHERE THE CÓRDOBA WIND LOOKS PEACEFULLY IN THE MIDDLE AND EMBRACING THE ENTIRE DWELLING RAISES THE BANANA TREE OF CESAR WITH THICK HAIR WHICH THE HAPPY RIGHT HAND OF THE UNDEFEATED GUEST PLANTED STARTING ITS TRUNK TO GROW FROM HIS HAND OH TREE OF THE GREAT CAESAR, OH BELOVED OF THE GODS, DO NOT FEAR IRON OR SACRILEGOUS FIRE. MARTIAL"
Marcial, latin poet from I century
