Location

The Samora Correia Bullring is located in the Campo da Feira (Fairground), a wide and central area in the town of Samora Correia, which is part of the municipality of Benavente. This location benefits from its proximity to the renovated Parque Ruy Luis Gomes, a green space that serves as a landmark in the village. Its placement in the Campo da Feira allows the venue to naturally integrate into the urban environment, providing a suitable space for the large events held there.

Bullfighting Legacy

This space is a fundamental stage for the celebration of Ribatejo's bullfighting traditions, a cultural heritage deeply rooted in the region. It is here that events such as bull releases and bullfights unfold, attracting enthusiasts and the curious. The presence of the Samora Correia Bullring highlights the community's connection to equestrian life and to the role of the campino, an emblematic figure of Ribatejo, who demonstrates their skill and connection to the wild cattle on these occasions. Visiting this place during an event is to immerse oneself in the pulse of local identity and its most genuine cultural manifestations.

Center of Celebration

The Samora Correia Bullring acts as a central point for the town's major annual festivities, particularly during the Bullfighting Week and the Feasts in Honor of Nossa Senhora da Oliveira and Nossa Senhora de Guadalupe. Although it is a portable structure, assembled specifically for these periods, its presence transforms the Campo da Feira into a vibrant epicenter of conviviality and spectacle. It is in this venue that the community and visitors gather to experience the energy of the celebrations, making it a symbolic place of Samora Correia's festive dynamism.
