Cultural Square La Santamaría
About
It was built in 1931 as a bullring with a capacity for 14,500 visitors. The current facade was designed by the Spanish architect Santiago de la Mora, and it is characterized by brick walls in the neo-Mudéjar style. It is currently a center of art and culture, where artists perform and sports tournaments take place. The sand has even been used to set up a children's beach. It is a cultural icon and was declared a National Monument in 1984.
