This is the old bullfighting ring in Lisbon which is still in use (for bullfights, but the bull is apparently not killed). It is now also used for concerts and shows. The building dates from around 1890, with the roof dominated by exquisite blue domes, but has been extensively recently renovated. It is a superb example of the architecture of the time and well worth the effort to visit. It is also worth visiting for the local shopping centre attached to it, cheaper stuff than in the centre of the city where all the tourists are. We couldn't see many tourists when we visited, despite it being in the middle of the day.
