Bullring from the 19th century with the Antonio Ordónez Bullfighting Museum
They date back to the 19th century and feature the Antonio Ordónez bullfighting museum. The city's first bullring was built at the end of the 18th century near the Carmelite convent. They were made of wood, as were the many that followed, in the heart of a district close to the port, where the famous Heredia company's wine warehouses were located. Historians report that this bullfighting building was destroyed for fear of fire. However, the plazas that followed did not last long, so to speak. In 1849, the new venue was set up near the now-defunct San Francisco convent. The stone arena could hold 12,000 spectators, but its owner had it demolished in 1864 for murky political reasons. A new plaza was built near the sea, with a capacity of over 9,000 spectators. This time, the plaza de La Malagueta was born and inaugurated in 1876, with a bullfight by Murube for Antonio Carmona El Gordito and Lagartijo, the stars of the moment.
