 CAMPO PEQUENO - BRIEF HISTORY 

Lisbon's bullring was built between 1890 and 1892 as part of the project designed by the Portuguese architect António José Dias da Silva. His design was inspired by the bullring of Madrid, by Emilio Rodriguez Ayuso, later demolished. The style is the neo-Mudéjar, a Romantic style inspired by the old Arab architecture from Iberia. Lisbon's new bullring replaced the old one, located in the Campo de Santana.
