This bullring, where great bullfighters have performed, was built in the late 19th and early 20th century, and is surrounded by different public buildings. Brick, masonry and stone are the components of this construction, which has always preserved a rustic appearance thanks to the slate seats in the stands. It has a seating capacity of 2,000 and a surface area of 2,300 square metres.
