Plaza de toros de Campofrío

The Plaza de toros de Campofrío is a bullring with three levels of seating arranged around a central ring that measures 52 meters across. The structure spans a total diameter of 60 meters and retains its original red-colored doors and barriers that once protected spectators.

The bullring was founded in 1718 by the Brotherhood of Santiago Apóstol and ranks among Spain's oldest still-active arenas. Its long history makes it a significant witness to this traditional practice in the region.

The structure holds official recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site and belongs to the Union of Historical Bullrings of Spain.

The bullring sits on the outskirts of town and can hold roughly 1,500 spectators, giving visitors a sense of how these historical venues functioned. Those planning a visit should check ahead to understand how the site is accessible and what to expect on the ground.

The municipal coat of arms of Campofrío features this arena's image, reflecting how central it became to the town's identity and growth. This representation in the official emblem shows just how deeply rooted this place is in local life.
