It’s a symbol of entrepreneurship with an economic vision BUT a lack of consideration of local sentiment.

Indeed, the turn of 20th century has seen popularity of bullfighting in many former Spanish colonies. They were money making for the owners of arenas and jobs for the locals.

BUT at the time, the Uruguayan public had NO sympathy for bullfighting, many were opposed. As such this arena, built in 1909 closed permanently in 1912 following a national ban of bullfighting. In all ONLY 8 bullfights were hosted here.

The building is of Moorish influence in the style of Sevilla Bullring.

The building was abandoned and fell into disrepair. After 100 years, restoration and reconstruction began. It reopened in 2021 as a cultural venue to concerts and local sports.

Plaza de Toros (bullring)It's nice to see these places to compare times in history and the humankind evolution, since here, it shows that animals are taking into consideration in some way. I had the oportunity to visit "La Plaza de Toros" bullring is the translation, in 1985-86 when anybody had access to the ring, and it was falling into pieces because it was abandoned. I rent a bike and went along the riverside in 10-15 minutes. Once in the Plaza de Toros they allowed me to enter it and locked it under a stair. A tourist guide told us the history of the place which is gorgeous and enigmatic. Colonia,...

Visitamos la Plaza de Toros en julio de 2024 y la experiencia fue realmente enriquecedora. Optamos por la visita guiada, que cuesta solo $200 y vale absolutamente la pena. Las entradas se pueden comprar en la puerta o anticipadamente a través de la web, lo cual es muy conveniente.

El lugar ha sido maravillosamente restaurado, preservando su esencia histórica. Es fascinante ver cómo se ha combinado la restauración con el mantenimiento de áreas sin restaurar, en cumplimiento con la ley de patrimonio, que exige que parte de la estructura original permanezca intacta para preservar su autenticidad. La mezcla de lo restaurado con lo no restaurado crea un contraste impresionante, y saber que la estructura se ha asegurado para evitar colapsos tranquiliza a los visitantes.

Además, tuvimos la suerte de disfrutar de una exposición de arte de Jorge Carbajal, uno de nuestros artistas favoritos, de quien poseemos dos cuadros personalizados. Fue un verdadero placer ver su obra en un lugar tan icónico.

La visita guiada es altamente recomendable, ya que proporciona una cantidad invaluable de información sobre la historia del lugar, desde los motivos de la construcción de la plaza, hasta los eventos políticos e históricos que llevaron a su cierre. También aprenderán sobre la conexión con el hotel cercano y la central eléctrica, lo que añade un contexto muy interesante a la visita.

En resumen, la Plaza de Toros es un lugar que no se pueden perder si visitan Colonia del Sacramento. Es un testimonio de la historia que ha sido revitalizado de manera...
