The Real Maestranza de Caballería de Ronda, founded in 1572, built this sandstone bullring between 1780 and 1785, to a design attributed to Martín de Aldehuela, the architect of the Puente Nuevo. Its ring is 66 metres across, surrounded by a double row of arches on Tuscan columns; in May 1784, with the work unfinished, part of the stands collapsed during a bullfight. It can be visited inside, and under the stands there is a museum of the Maestranza and of bullfighting.
