Origins of the bullring<\/h3>\n

The “Los Califas” Bullring in C\u00f3rdoba is a relatively modern bullring. Work began in 1963 and its objective was to replace the old bullring in Tejares. It was designed by architect Juan Cuenca Montilla and built in the El Arenal neighborhood, in the eastern part of the city.<\/p>\n

In 1965 it was inaugurated under the name “Los Califas” in honor of the 5 greatest bullfighters of the province: Lagartijo, Guerrita, Machaquito, Manolete, and El Cordob\u00e9s<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
