Teruel Bullring
The bullring of Teruel is a bullring of neo-Mudejar style. The building was built in 1934 and is located in the Teruel neighborhood of the Eixample.
The building was conceived by the architect José Antonio Muñoz and built mainly with Teruel brick. The diameter of the arena is fifty meters and originally had a capacity of 6,407 seats (boxes included). It has two crenellated towers on its façade, which rests on a continuous plinth where openings that cover the height of the building are ordered.
La Vaquilla Museum
The objective of the Heifer Museum is to create a space with contents that explain the history and meaning of our Festival. A modern, design space, with explanatory panels, showcases and articles donated by the people of Teruel. All of them reveal to us senses of the Feast that remained hidden or had fallen into oblivion.
The installation of the Heifer Museum consists of two distinct thematic spaces. The tour begins in the area reserved for the bullfighting world. The figures of Teruel bullfighting, the elements of the party and the history of a square, which is the history of a town.
This theme well serves as an appetizer to move on to the next section of the installation: La Vaquilla del Ángel, describes step by step the evolution of the Festival throughout its three days, from the Salve to the Guardian Angel, continuing with the Auction of Boxes, the Campanico, the Sunset of the Pañuelico, the traditional Sunday snack, the bulls enogados and of course, the History of the supporters clubs of yesterday and today.
