Arena Tarraco Plaza

Tarraco Arena Plaça, Former bullring of Tarragona, Tarragona Arena
Spain, Tarragona
The Tarraco Plaza Arena was built in 1883 by the architect Ramon Salas Ricom. The building is designed in the likeness of an ancient colosseum, decorated in the Art Nouveau style. In 2006-2010, a reconstruction was carried out, during which a huge sliding dome was completed. Previously, since its construction, the arena served as a stage for bullfights, but in 2010, local authorities passed a law banning bullfighting in Catalonia. Today it hosts concerts, theatrical performances and sports matches.

Tarragona's bullring is located at Carrer de Mallorca, 18. This imposing three-story building in the neo-Moorish style was built in the 19th century by Ramon Salas Rikom. After the ban on bullfighting in Catalonia, the arena building was modernized: the stands were rebuilt, and, most importantly, a huge sliding dome with a radius of 40 meters and a weight of 980 tons appeared above the arena. Today, the former arena is used for various cultural events.
