Before we left Colonia del Sacramento we drove out to take a look at this 8000 seat arena, built in 1908. This bullring hosted only a few contests over a few scant months in 1910 before the practice was banned in Uruguay. Whatever use the arena ever saw after that is uncertain, but aside from well-manicured lawns the structure is abandoned and has been allowed to decay for a good half-century from the looks of it.

Technically, it is forbidden to enter the abandoned bull ring for safety reasons.
