Plaza de Toros Cañaveralejo, National monument and bullring in Cali, Colombia
The Arena Cañaveralejo features a circular design with a 42-meter diameter ring and grandstands that accommodate 14,368 spectators under a steel cable-supported structure.
Engineer Guillermo González Zuleta completed the construction of this reinforced concrete structure in 1957, with the first bullfight held on December 28 of that year.
The venue presents international bullfighting events during the Cali Fair in December and January, maintaining Colombian taurine traditions for over six decades.
Located on Calle 5 between Carreras 52 and 53, the arena contains eight public entrances, fifty restrooms, and renovated facilities for performers.
The arena functions as both a bullfighting venue and a concert hall, featuring a 360-degree stage configuration that adapts to different types of performances.
