Plaza de Acho (Lima)

Peru / Callao / Lima
 square, bullring, 1760s construction
Plaza de Toros de Acho. Esta es la plaza de toros mas antigua de America y la tercera del mundo fue construida en 1765, e inaugurada en 1768.

The oldest bullfighting venue in the Americas and technically the oldest active bullfighting ring in the world constructed for that purpose. The ring in Sevilla, Spain is considered the oldest and it began construction earlier, but Acho was completed first. There are of course ancient Roman arenas in use for bullfighting today that are older, such as the arenas in Nimes and Arles France.
