The Plaza de Toros de Ronda is an ancient bullring in Ronda that was built in 1785 by architect Jose Martin Aldehuela, who also built the Puente Nuevo. The 5,000-seat bullring has a 217-foot diameter, is surrounded by a passage formed by two rings of stone, and has 136 pillars that form 68 arches. The stately bullring was once used regularly for bullfights and was the home of the Ronda School for Bullfighting, founded by one of Spain’s greatest bullfighters, Pedro Romero. Today, the bullring hosts just one bullfight a year for town’s September Feria and has a museum with guided tours.
