Built in 1922 by Francisco Urcola,[1] the stadium holds 19,720 people. It is the end point of the famous Running of the bulls during the festival of San Fermín.

During the first months of 1939, towards the end of Spanish Civil War, it housed a Francoist concentration camp with a capacity of 3,000 Republican prisoners.[2]
