Plaza de toros de Jerez de la Frontera

The Plaza de toros de Jerez de la Frontera is a sixteen-sided circular arena built from brick that holds approximately 9,500 spectators. Multiple seating levels and traditional Spanish architectural details shape its structure and appearance.

The original structure was built in 1839 and required reconstruction after a fire in 1872, reopening in 1894 under mayor Toribio Revilla San Millán. This rebuilding established it as a major venue for the region's events.

The venue reflects the deep connection between bullfighting and horsemanship that defines this region, with events that blend both traditions together. Locals view it as a center where their ancestral practices continue to be performed and valued.

The arena opens for events such as bullfights, concerts, and cultural performances throughout the year. Check the official website to learn about scheduled events and visiting conditions for your trip.

This venue has a rare sixteen-sided shape that sets it apart from other bullfighting arenas. Ceramic tiles on the facade commemorate bulls that were pardoned during past events.
