Maestranza César Girón, Historic bullring in Maracay, Venezuela
The Maestranza César Girón features Spanish-influenced architecture with a circular arena and distinctive presidential balcony at ground level, accommodating 7,000 spectators.
Architect Carlos Raúl Villanueva designed this bullfighting venue, which opened its doors on January 20, 1933, under President Juan Vicente Gómez's administration.
The venue hosts traditional bullfighting events during the annual San José Fair, maintaining Venezuelan cultural traditions through organized competitions and performances.
Located in the Calicanto district of Maracay, the bullring offers regular guided tours and maintains an active schedule of events throughout the year.
The arena's dimensions were specifically reduced at General Gómez's request to restrict bull movement, creating a distinctive configuration among South American bullrings.
