The monument was created by the sculptor Nacho Martín and inaugurated in 2005 as a tribute to the fighting bull, considered the cornerstone of the bullfighting festival. The work pays tribute to the cultural, historical and symbolic importance of the fighting bull in the tradition of Ronda, a city with a close link to the world of bullfighting. The Ronda bullring is one of the most symbolic venues for bullfighting and this tribute highlights the city's link with the festival and its essential elements.
