Plaça de Braus de Figueres

Plaça de Braus de Figueres, bullring in Figueras, Spain

The Plaça de Braus de Figueres is a bullring designed by the architect Josep Gaspar i Serra, with an octagonal plan and a yellow facade. Its entrance is a large horseshoe arch topped by a frieze bearing the sign "PLAZA DE TOROS" and a projecting eave, with battlements repeated along the upper part of the building. On each side of the door, three raised horseshoe arches frame the lower level, while the upper level has blind openings with double horseshoe arches.

The bullring was inaugurated in 1894 by the pharmacist Pablo Gelart, with bulls from the La Borda ranch fought by matadors Basilio González El Sastre and José San Pedro. In 1989 the Figueres town council bought the arena from the Gelart family. No bullfights have been held since 2000, and the building stands abandoned; the council now plans to convert it into a sports pavilion.

The name Plaça de Braus is the Catalan term for bullring, and the building is listed as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest. Its horseshoe arches and the sign reading "PLAZA DE TOROS" above the main door are details a visitor can still pick out from the street.

The site is located on Calle del Far in the center of Figueres and is easily accessible on foot. Since the building is currently closed to the public, visitors can view and photograph the historic facade from the outside.

The arena was inaugurated in 1894 by the pharmacist Pablo Gelart, with bulls from the La Borda ranch fought by Basilio González El Sastre and José San Pedro. It also hosted the alternativa ceremonies of several matadors, among them Fuentes, Antonio Poveda and José Salazar. The city council bought the ring from the Gelart family in 1989.
