Plaza de toros de Quito, Bullring in Jipijapa, Quito, Ecuador
The circular stadium stands with white concrete walls and traditional Spanish architectural elements, accommodating 15,000 spectators across multiple seating sections.
The Plaza de Toros opened its doors on March 5, 1960, marking the beginning of structured bullfighting events in Ecuador's capital after several temporary arenas.
Following a 2011 referendum where Quito citizens voted against bullfighting, the venue transformed from a traditional arena into a space for concerts and festivals.
The bullring features twelve entrance gates, divided seating areas between sun and shade sections, and sits near the Jipijapa metro station for easy access.
The facility maintains its original medical station and includes specific architectural elements designed for both bullfighting events and modern entertainment productions.
