The Nazaré Bullring, built in the late 19th century, is a circular arena that still hosts traditional bullfights during the summer season, as well as concerts and festivals. Its distinctive whitewashed walls and red-tiled roof stand out near the town center. Inside, the Bullfighting Museum displays costumes, posters, and memorabilia that trace the history of the sport in Portugal. Even for those not attending an event, the museum offers a glimpse into a controversial but culturally significant tradition.
