Plaza de Toros de La Merced, Bullring in Huelva, Spain
The Plaza de Toros de La Merced is a bullring in Huelva featuring a circular design that blends regionalist and postmodern architectural influences. The structure accommodates around 10,000 spectators and contains stables, veterinary facilities, and specialized areas for bullfighters.
The bullring was constructed between 1901 and 1902 under architect Trinidad Gallego Díaz's direction. Following a period of disuse, the structure underwent comprehensive restoration in 1984.
The venue is closely tied to the annual Feria de las Colombinas held each August, which commemorates Christopher Columbus's expeditions that departed from Huelva. Visitors can experience the energy that fills the stands during these festive celebrations.
Access to the venue during events is well organized, with clear signage for different seating areas and zones for spectators of various categories. Arriving early helps you find better seating and explore the grounds at a comfortable pace.
The site fell into near-abandonment before restoration efforts secured its future. Today, the renewed structure stands as a reminder of how important this space remains to the city.
