Plaza de Toros de Manizales

Plaza de Toros de Manizales, Bullring in Manizales, Caldas, Colombia

The Plaza de Toros de Manizales, also called La Monumental, is a bullring built by the Robledo y Borrero construction company and inaugurated on 23 December 1951. Its exterior features horseshoe arches and crenellations in a neo-Mudéjar historicist style. Inside, a red-painted barrier with a white ledge and a continuous band of advertising panels separates the ring from the concrete seating tiers, which originally held 7,000 spectators within a projected capacity of 12,000.

The arena opened in 1951 following years of community planning that began in 1944 to create a permanent venue for events. Since its inauguration, it has served as the center for traditional celebrations and has hosted the Feria de Manizales since 1954.

The pasodoble "Manizales", written in 1956 by Juan Marí Asins with lyrics by Guillermo González Ospina, plays during the paseíllo and in outstanding bullfights. Since 1954 the Feria de Manizales has been held here, and each year the Trofeo Feria de Manizales, a replica of the Manizales Cathedral, is awarded.

The arena is used for bullfights during the Feria de Manizales in January, as well as for concerts and, to a lesser extent, sporting events. The building was designed for 12,000 seats but was first enabled for 7,000. Access is from the city center of Manizales, in the Caldas Department.

The arena's owner is the Cruz Roja Seccional Caldas, which received the shares of the founding society over the years. The trophy awarded each year at the Feria de Manizales is a replica of the Manizales Cathedral, not a bullfighting trophy in the usual sense.
