Bullring of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Historic bullring in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain
The circular structure contains 32 sides in its polygon design and measures 80 meters in diameter, featuring Mudéjar architectural elements on its facade.
Built by architect Antonio Pintor Ocete, the bullring opened on April 30, 1893, and continued operations until its final bullfighting event in December 1983.
The arena transformed from a bullfighting venue to a multifunctional space, hosting concerts by performers like Celia Cruz and Mecano before closing in 2003.
The structure maintains its original capacity of 6,800 seats and received protection status as a Bien de Interés Cultural in 2014 for its architectural value.
A fire in 1924 caused substantial damage to the building, leading to a three-year closure for repairs before reopening to continue its operations.
