INTRODUCTION
On 2011 was inaugurated in Barcelona “Las Arenas” mall,
on the old bullring of the city. The rehabilitation has been
well accepted by the city and the tourism. This bullring
was obsolete for more than 30 years due to the appearing
of “La Monumental”, that made honor to it’s name and
became the symbol of the bullfighting in Barcelona.
“La Monumental” was built on 1914 on the “Eixample”
district of Barcelona with a Neomudejar and Byzantine
with capacity for around 20.000 people. For many years it
was the symbol of the bullfighting in Barcelona until 2012,
when those where forbidden in Catalonia. For this reason
the main use of the building has been relieved to events
of minor nature.
We propose to combine this fact with the new proposal
of the Barcelona’s City Council to transform “Las Glorias”
square onto a new urban park. Although this green square
will became into the center of an urban equipments ring
where “La Monumental” is placed.
Barcelona already knows the history of this bullring, do
you want to tell us it’s future?
01
A free proposal to improve the city. A city in constant
change and where “Las Glorias” Square takes a very
important paper in the future, although the alter ego that
is “Las Arenas” bullring at the other extreme of the “Gran
Via” of Barcelona.
How should evolve this heritage of the city? Which service
should it offer to the city? How do you think it might be?
What kind of relations should it have with the outer space?
PROGRAM
02
We’re next to “Las Glorias” of
Barcelona, the new green lung of
the city. Nor should we forget the
Ciutadella Park, the green zones of
Poblenou or Sant Joan’s promenade.
The bullring “La Monumental” it’s
part of an equipments ring around
“Las Glorias” new park, with Sagrada
Familia, the National Theatre of
Catalonia, the Agbar Tower, the 22@
technological district or the Design
HUB.
“La Monumental” lives with the old
bullring “Las Arenas”. Finding each
other on an oposite side of the city, it’s
produced a direct relationship with
the “Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes”
being an alter ego one of the other.
Learning from the history we can
lay the foundations for the future.
We’re going to help you out with a
short summary of the history of La
Monumental.
This horizontal axis that supposes the
“Gran Via” cuts with Marina street and
the Diagonal Avenue in an important
point of the urbanism of the city, right
next to our place.
Finally, do not forget that we’re on
the beautiful city of Barcelona. We
love “La Monumental” and it’s an
authentical icon of the city.
