Bullring of Oran, Bullring in Oran, Algeria

The circular structure spans 4,800 square meters with a diameter of 210 meters and contains seats arranged in tiers around a central arena.

Spanish immigrants requested the construction of the wooden bullring in 1890, which burned down and was rebuilt in stone by 1908.

The arena hosted performances by renowned matadors like El Cordobes and Ordinez Pepe until bullfighting events ceased during the Algerian War in 1960.

The bullring opens to visitors from Saturday through Thursday until 5 PM, featuring art exhibitions beneath the archways that support the stands.

This structure represents the only bullring in Algeria and one of two remaining in Africa, alongside the one in Tangier, Morocco.
