Plaza de Toros de La Merced, Bullring in Huelva, Spain
The Plaza de Toros de La Merced features regionalist and postmodern architectural elements with a circular structure accommodating 10,000 spectators for bullfighting events.
Built between 1901 and 1902 under architect Trinidad Gallego Díaz's supervision, the bullring required 45 builders and 120 workers who placed up to 10,000 bricks daily.
The venue hosts the annual Feria de las Colombinas in August, a national tourist interest festival commemorating Christopher Columbus's expeditions from Huelva.
The bullring maintains dedicated facilities including veterinary clinics, bull stables, and specialized areas for bullfighters during events throughout the season.
After years of abandonment, the structure underwent complete restoration in 1984, replacing a newer but structurally compromised bullring that was demolished in 1997.
