Coliseo Centenario, multi-purpose complex in Torreón, Mexico
Coliseo Centenario is a large circular event venue in Torreón designed to resemble Roman amphitheaters. It accommodates approximately eight thousand to nine thousand people in tiered seating surrounding a central arena, with modern acoustic systems and multiple dining and bar areas throughout the facility.
Coliseo Centenario opened in February 2008 to commemorate Torreón's one hundred year anniversary. Following a fire incident in 2016, extensive renovations were completed, including improvements to acoustics and increased seating capacity.
The Coliseo Centenario takes its name from the city centennial celebration when it opened. It remains deeply connected to local traditions, serving as a gathering place where residents experience bullfighting, concerts, and community events that reflect the area's cultural identity.
The venue is easily accessible in a busy area of Torreón with nearby parking options. The building is fully roofed and air-conditioned, featuring elevators, strategically placed emergency exits, and multiple restrooms for visitors throughout the facility.
The building was designed by architect Gilberto De Yta with specialized facilities for bullfighting, including corrals, a chapel, and an infirmary. These dedicated areas make it a complete center for traditional bullfighting practices in Mexico.
