This bullring in Cáceres province is one of the few made of stone.
A beautiful bullring stands to the north west of Cáceres, in Valverde del Fresno, in the heart of Sierra de Gata. This bullring was inaugurated in 1914 and stands out for the curious fact that it is one of the few buildings of its kind made of stone. It can hold around 2,000 spectators, but since being privately owned has ceased to be used for bullfights.
