Located in the area of El Castañar, it's an indispensable monument to understand the evolution of the Tauromac and the popular architecture salmantin. That Cultural Interest (BIC) good stands out for its unique polygonal plant and its privileged location in the heart of nature, surrounded by forests of chestnuts and oaks. A Unique Design: Architecture and Curiosities Unlike the monumental things of great cities, La Ancianita preserves an authentic and rustic flavour that makes it special: Non-circular plant: its original structure isn't a perfect circle, and this reveals its experimental origins at the dawn of the 18th century. Fits and warmness: with a capacity for about 3,500 viewers, it offers a closeness between tiling and mooring that creates an intimate and exciting atmosphere. The Taurino Museum: It houses an interpretation centre with old signboards, light suits and documents that account for three centuries of Tairian history at Salamanca. The Castañar and Environment Sanctuary The visit to the Plaza de Toros de Béjar is perfectly complemented by the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Castañar, a patron of the town, situated just a few metres away. That monumental ensemble is a key meeting place for local traditions and offers some of the best hiking routes through the Sierra de Béjar. Why visit Béjar's Toros Plaza? Whether you're a bullfighter or an old lady's love of history, & quot; La Ancianita & quot; is a fascinating example of how architecture suits the ground. It's an obligatory stop on any route to the most beautiful peoples of Salamanca and a living testimony from the Spanish Golden Century outside of the great capitals. < / p > < / Section >
