Plaza de Toros la Macarena, Bullring in Medellín, Colombia
Plaza de Toros la Macarena is a bullring in Medellín, Colombia. The circular arena has tiered seating around a central ring, with a facade that mixes brick and concrete.
The bullring opened in the mid-20th century and became a stage for traditional bullfighting in the city. Over the years, it has also hosted concerts and other events, adapting to changing times.
The arena is a gathering place for bullfighting fans, and its name comes from the surrounding neighborhood. On event days, the area fills with people, music, and street vendors selling food and drinks.
The venue sits in the La Macarena neighborhood, north of the city center, and is best reached by taxi or metro. Check local listings for event days, as the site is not always open to visitors.
The circular shape of the stands means that from most seats you can see the entire ring without obstruction. The building's brick exterior hides a spacious interior that can hold a large crowd.
