Inaugurated in 1992, it was built to replace the former 19th-century bullring.
It is a newly-constructed bullring, inaugurated on 18th July 1992, and made of natural stone, perfectly integrated into the municipal park where it stands. It was built to replace the town's earlier bullring, which was inaugurated in 1886. This magnificent construction, designed as a bullring, is now a multipurpose facility. It has a capacity of 4,500 spectators, and is now the perfect place for all kinds of shows.
