Palma bullring

Palma bullring is a circular Neo-Mudéjar structure with four distinctive towers positioned at cardinal points, designed to accommodate around 11,600 spectators. The venue operates today primarily as a concert and event space rather than for its original purpose.

Architect Gaspar Bennasar designed this Neo-Mudéjar venue to replace an earlier structure and opened it on July 21, 1929. It represented a modernization of Palma's public facilities during the early 20th century.

The arena reflects how entertainment and public gathering have evolved in Palma through its conversion from a traditional spectacle venue to a modern concert space. This shift mirrors the city's broader cultural changes and how locals and visitors now experience live performances in a historic setting.

The venue sits on Gaspar Bennasar Avenue with nearby food outlets, bars, and parking facilities as well as public transportation options. Visitors should plan for crowded conditions during large events and peak times.

The German television show 'Wetten, dass..?' was filmed here during summer months and broadcast to millions across Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. These productions brought international recognition to the venue far beyond its local significance.
