Palacio Vistalegre Arena in Numbers
PALACIO VISTALEGRE · CARABANCHEL
A Bullring Reborn as Arena
Palacio Vistalegre stands on the site of the original Vistalegre bullring in Madrid's Carabanchel district, a venue affectionately known as La Chata that began construction on 10 August 1906 and was inaugurated on 15 July 1908 during the centennial of the Peninsular War. Damaged during the Spanish Civil War and rebuilt in 1944, the bullring closed in 1980 and stood derelict for over a decade before plans for a modern multipurpose arena on the same plot were unveiled in 1996.
The new Palacio Vistalegre Arena was inaugurated on 29 March 2000, with entrepreneur Arturo Beltrán driving the project. The covered ring, which retains the ability to stage bullfights, doubles as a 14,000-capacity indoor arena and has hosted Real Madrid Baloncesto Euroleague games, world boxing title fights, the 2008 Davis Cup tie against the USA, and concerts by Guns N' Roses (2010), Lana Del Rey, Lady Gaga and major Spanish artists from Joaquín Sabina to Rosalía.
