His design was inspired by the bullring of\u00a0Madrid, by Emilio Rodriguez Ayuso, later demolished. The style is the neo-Mud\u00e9jar, a Romantic style inspired by the old\u00a0Arab\u00a0architecture from\u00a0Iberia. Lisbon&#8217;s new bull ring replaced an old one, located in the Campo de Santana.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/lisbonstopover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/bullfight.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-164\" alt=\"bullfight\" src=\"http:\/\/lisbonstopover.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/bullfight.jpg\" width=\"296\" height=\"170\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The bull ring has a circular\u00a0floorplan\u00a0with four large octagonal towers on each\u00a0cardinal point\u00a0with oriental-looking\u00a0domes. The Western tower is flanked by two\u00a0turrets\u00a0and serves as main entrance. The many windows of the building have a typical\u00a0horseshoeshape. The entire surface of the building is covered by bricks of orange colour. The inner arena has 80 metres of diameter and is covered with sand. The seats hold almost 1 parson.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Spanish bull fighting,\u00a0in Portugal\u00a0the bull is not killed at the end of the fight. This was decreed by king\u00a0Miguel of Portugal\u00a0during his reign of 1828-1834 as he considered it inhumane to the animal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; The\u00a0Campo Pequeno Bullring\u00a0(Portuguese:\u00a0Pra\u00e7a de Touros do Campo Pequeno, lit. &#8220;Small Field&#8221;) is the\u00a0bull ring\u00a0of\u00a0Lisbon,\u00a0Portugal.
