This bullring was fully renovated in 2003.
This bullring dates back to 1625, although for various reasons it was later out of use for a long period of time. In 1997 the town council of Bodonal de la Sierra bought the bullring and decided to restore it. The work was completed in 2003 and since 2010 bullfights have been held in the bullring, which can hold 3,000 spectators.
