Vistalegre Palace
Vistalegre Palace is a multi-purpose building in the Vista Alegre neighbourhood, in Madrid's Carabanchel district, originally conceived as a bullring and built on the site of the former Vista Alegre bullring, known as 'La Chata', which stood there from 1908 until its demolition in 1995. The covered, climate-controlled venue has a capacity of 14,000 and hosts bullfighting, sporting and musical events, as well as offering 1,000 parking spaces on its lower level. Its programme has included concerts by artists and bands such as Coldplay, Depeche Mode, Iron Maiden and Arctic Monkeys; matches by clubs such as Real Madrid Baloncesto, Balonmano Atlético de Madrid and Club Baloncesto Estudiantes; sporting events such as the EuroLeague and the ULEB Cup basketball, boxing and indoor trial; operas such as Nabucco, Carmina Burana, Aida and La Traviata; and shows such as Disney on Ice, WWE Live and League of Legends esports. On its façade stands 'La Musa de Vistalegre', the largest mural in Spain. The venue is celebrating 20 years as a member of Arenas Europe, which guarantees its quality standards, and also houses a shopping area with the Hipercor hypermarket and the Puerta Bonita market. It can be reached by metro on line 5 (Vista Alegre station) and by buses 34, 35 and 247.
