House purchase square and ends with the bullfights

For more than a century, the traditional bullfight was closely linked to Viana do Castelo, which now must end with the purchase by the current City Hall Plaza de Toros. The goal should be to transform the building into a Museum of Living Science, said the Socialist mayor Defensor Moura. "It clearly create a space to additional urban ecological park, with a Living Science Center, similar to the Museum of Man, in Cordoba, Spain," Defensor said yesterday Moura, who announced the acquisition to current owners of the current Plaza de Toros. "After several years of negotiations, we purchase, for a symbolic value," he explained. In order to take advantage of the proximity to Park City, which operates the Center for Monitoring and Environmental Interpretation, the municipality intends to establish a kind of road map as an international center for school visits, which covered even the ship-museum Gil Eanna. "To be Missions of study related to ecology and human biology," explained Defensor Moura yet. The municipality has not yet decided whether to proceed with the new functions demolition of the existing building or whether it will suffer only a speech to adapt. The purchase will be made in euros and 5127.74, acknowledged Defensor Moura, should even represent the end of bullfighting in Viana do Castelo, tradition that dates back to 1871. The tradition has led even at the beginning of the twentieth century a group of fans found the Club Taurino Viana. In recent years, the "redondel" of Argaçosa, near the River Lima, in Helmsdale, was not very active and received only a bullfight almost a year, precisely the festival. The current building was built in 1949, for which the city now has a permanent space, with even a small chapel inside. Composed of 4900 seats and 18 cabins, had an initial intense activity managed by the bullring Company Limited, then formed by 32 partners. For one square passed virtually all the major names of Portuguese bullfighting. A tradition that may have a home even earlier, taking into account the existence of records in 1685, which recommended cutting the stem of the bull "because of that there were deaths."
