Las Arenas

The historic bullring, constructed at the very end of the 19th century, fell largely into disuse during the 1970s.

The redevelopment has retained and refurbished the striking neo-mudéjar façade, while creating an open and accessible entrance to the new building at street level.

Within the façade of the former bullring, approximately 47,000 m² of mixed activities has been created plus a 1,250-space car park in the basement.

The main activities offered are commercial, entertainment, health and leisure spaces focused around a central event space, including multiplex cinemas on the third floor and a gym and the ‘Museum of Rock’ on the fourth floor.

The renovation features a 76m-wide domed roof floating over the façade – and structurally independent from it – providing flexible, column-free spaces beneath the dome.

This ‘plaza in the sky’ incorporates terraces around the perimeter with space for cafés and restaurants.
