Mérida Bullring, Bullfighting arena in Mérida, Spain
The Plaza de Toros features three tiers of seating areas, including stands, bleachers, and broadside sections, accommodating up to 8,000 spectators within its circular structure.
The bullring opened its gates on July 5, 1914, with Mexican matador Rodolfo Gaona performing in place of the initially announced Rafael Gomez El Gallo.
This third-category arena maintains Spanish bullfighting traditions through regular events, particularly during the September Fair when matadors demonstrate their skills.
The facility contains essential areas such as pens, horse yards, a chapel, and ticket offices, with Future Lances S.L. managing the scheduling of events.
During the winter of 1962-63, the arena underwent substantial renovations to repair and enhance its wooden construction and factory walls.
