Emblematic architecture

The stones here speak, because they are a part
of our past and a part of our present.

Ondara

La Plaça de Bous

"Ondara's bullring, inaugurated in 1901, is an example of Neomudejar architecture.

The construction was possible due to various reasons: the fact that no bullrings existed between València and Alacant; a local economy based on the raisin trade which, at the end of the 19th century, went through moments of splendour and generated substantial economic gains; and a large group of enthusiasts in Ondara, among whom there were the followers of the art of Cúchares and those who perceived an initiative for local promotion or, simply, an emblematic building that would perpetuate in the future the golden age of the raisin trade, like the construction of Teatre Eslava in 1886 by the local banker José L. Bosch. A historical period that, it must be said, did not benefit all social strata equally.

It suffered terrible damage during the Civil War. Its reconstruction, in 1957, was carried out by Juan Noguera Fornés and the Garrido brothers, and entailed the right to exploit it for thirty-five years. In 1981, the plenum agreed to ask the business owner for an early, voluntary and free reversal, so the concession ended six years earlier. Once recovered, the bullring underwent two renovations.

At the moment, all that remains is the construction of the bullfighting museum."(1)
