Is this some kind of joke? The Campo Pequeno Bullring. A bullring in the heart of Lisbon. You might be surprised to find a place like this in a modern city, but the bullring is part of Lisbon’s fabric. It has been here since 1892. It was built to replace the older bullring in Campo de Santana. It’s called Campo Pequeno, but it’s anything but small. It has a capacity of 6,848 for bullfights and can hold around 10,000 for concerts. This architectural marvel is modeled after the bullring in Madrid, showcasing a Neo-Mudéjar style with a blend of Arabic, Byzantine, and Russian influences. Those domes aren’t just pretty, they’re a nod to iconic structures like St. Mark’s Basilica and St. Basil’s Cathedral. But the Campo Pequeno Bullring isn’t just about bullfighting. Today it’s a vibrant venue for various events, from concerts to exhibitions. This blend of history and modernity embodies Lisbon’s spirit: honoring its past while embracing the future.
