The quadrangular shape of this bullring makes it singular indeed.
Inaugurated in 1828 and with a capacity for 2,500 spectators, this bullring stands out from the rest for its singular, picturesque quadrangular shape, as it was built on a former 18th-century cavalry barracks. Throughout this time, it has witnessed the performances of many important bullfighters.
