This is my third post in a series I’m calling “Postcard from My City.” In this installment, I’d like to show you photos of iconic landmarks in my city, Maracay. As I mentioned earlier, this is the third installment, and I should point out that everything I’ve shown you so far is located within an area no larger than two kilometers. This is because this area is part of a key historic district, where the vast majority of the city’s significant architectural landmarks are concentrated. However, there are many more that I will, of course, share in the future.

Today I’m sharing with you some photos of the “Maestranza César Girón Bullring,” a place that is undoubtedly a hallmark and icon of the city. In fact, I remember that back in the day there were postcards and stamps featuring this bullring as a local symbol. This venue has undergone various renovations and repairs throughout its history. It has been inactive for long periods, since—as a curious fact—the repairs tend to be quite time-consuming. On this occasion, even though it looks quite colorful on the outside, repairs are still being carried out inside; it is a rather complex structure, both in shape and size.

I’m not going to get into a debate about the activities that have taken place here in the past. It’s true—and perhaps I include myself here—that I don’t agree with bullfighting, given that animals suffer as a result of this spectacle. But my intention today isn’t to talk about that; I simply want to show you the architectural merits of this place, which, regardless of personal preferences, is a structure of great significance. In addition to bullfighting events, this venue also serves as a venue for concerts and various types of significant artistic events.

On a personal note, I had the chance to play there with a heavy metal band I was part of during a festival where people voted to decide which local band would perform at a major concert. I also had the chance to see the American extreme metal band Cannibal Corpse live many years ago. That is, without a doubt, one of the greatest memories I have of this place. I’ll leave you with these beautiful images, hoping you enjoyed them. I’ll be back soon with more iconic views of my city.
