Campo Pequeno Bullring
Campo Pequeno stadium, a historic landmark built between 1890 and 1892, stands as a testament to Portuguese bullfighting culture. Crafted in a neo-Mudéjar architectural style by acclaimed Portuguese architect António José Dias da Silva, this iconic structure draws inspiration from Madrid's erstwhile bullring. Featuring a circular design with four imposing octagonal towers, each adorned with elegant arabesque domes, Campo Pequeno captivates with its timeless charm.The grandeur of the stadium is evident in its distinctive orange brickwork and Moorish Arches that embellish doorways and windows. The western tower, serving as the main entrance and flanked by two turrets, welcomes visitors into this architectural marvel. Within its confines, an expansive arena spanning 80 metres offers seating for up to 10,000 spectators.
While initially conceived as the epicentre of Tauromachy, the sport's popularity has fluctuated over the years, leading to the stadium's adaptation and transformation. Despite evolving trends, Campo Pequeno remains a symbol of cultural heritage, captivating visitors with its rich history and architectural splendour.
About
Campo Pequeno stadium
Following extensive renovations between 2000 and 2006, Campo Pequeno stadium has undergone a remarkable transformation. Today, it stands as a vibrant hub featuring a museum, an underground shopping centre, a multiplex cinema, and a plethora of dining options and bars. The addition of a roof over the arena has elevated its versatility, making it a sought-after venue for concerts, circuses, exhibitions, and various entertainment shows.
While the stadium continues to uphold its tradition of hosting major bullfighting events from Easter to late summer on Thursday evenings, starting at 22:00, it has also diversified its offerings to cater to a wider audience. Unlike its Spanish counterpart, Portuguese-style bullfighting emphasizes the preservation of the bull's life, aligning with King Miguel's humane stance against unnecessary cruelty in the 19th century.
For those interested in experiencing a bullfight, tickets are readily available at the ticket office, with ample availability throughout the season. However, Campo Pequeno's appeal extends beyond bullfighting, inviting visitors to appreciate its architectural grandeur and explore its diverse array of entertainment options. Whether you're drawn by the spectacle of the arena or simply wish to admire the stunning architecture, a visit to Campo Pequeno promises an unforgettable experience.
