Viejo Coso, 19th century square in Valladolid, Spain
The octagonal plaza features continuous brick facades with wooden exterior corridors, following the Roman architectural model and traditional corrala style.
Inaugurated on September 29, 1834, this location served as Valladolid's first bullring with a capacity of 8,000 spectators until 1890.
The former bullring boxes where city nobles watched corridas have been transformed into residential apartments surrounding a central park.
The square remains accessible through San Quirce and San Ignacio streets, with visiting hours from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM daily.
This rare octagonal plaza shares its distinctive shape with only a few other Spanish squares, including those in Tarazona, Granada, and Jerez.
