The bullring of Fuentes de León was built in the late 19th century by the inhabitants of this municipality in the province of Badajoz.
1881 was the year of the official inauguration of the bullring of Fuentes de León, a village in Badajoz where bull runs had previously been held in the public square. This bullring is located in an olive grove on the outskirts of the village and was built by the inhabitants of the village themselves. It has a capacity for 1,200 spectators and is a remarkably interesting 19th-century architectural creation, the most notable features of which are its brick vaults.
