History
Lisbon's bullring was built between 1890 and 1892 under the supervision of Portuguese architect António José Dias da Silva. His design was inspired by an old bullring in Madrid designed by Emilio Rodríguez Ayuso, later demolished. It is built in the Neo-Mudéjar revival style. The new bullring came to replace an older one located in the Campo de Santana.
After a profound renovation, it re-opened as a multi-event venue in 2006, designed to be used for various events apart from bullfighting.
Description
The bull ring has a circular floorplan with four large octagonal towers on each cardinal point with oriental-looking domes. The Western tower is flanked by two turrets and serves as main entrance. The many windows of the building have a typical horseshoe shape. The entire surface of the building is covered by bricks of orange colour. The inner arena has 80 metres of diameter and is covered with sand.
It includes an underground shopping centre, a cinema, restaurants and a parking lot.
