La Línea de la Concepción Bullring, 19th century bullring in La Línea de la Concepción, Spain
The La Línea de la Concepción Bullring is a circular structure built in the 19th century that continues to serve as a venue for events. The building features multiple entrances and seating sections arranged on different levels, accommodating thousands of visitors.
Construction of this bullring began in the early 1880s and was completed a few years later. The arena opened during an era when the town was still small, but it quickly became an important center for regional events.
This bullring serves as a gathering place where the town comes together during its major celebrations each summer. Visitors from across the region still arrive to participate in traditions that have been passed down through generations.
Visitors should be prepared for multiple levels with different entry points, as the building is designed to allow people to enter conveniently from various areas. It helps to plan in advance which entrance is closest to your preferred seating area.
The structure has an unusual construction with 49 sides that form an almost perfect circular shape, distinguishing it from other arenas. This carefully calculated form is a result of architectural planning from the era of its construction.
