UNESCO listed Colonia in Uruguay
An abandoned, Moorish-style bull ring dating from the early 20th century.  Although it opened to great fanfare in 1910 with the most famous bullfighters of the day, only eight fights were hosted here before bull fighting was outlawed in 1912.  It's too bad they couldn't find another use for the building - maybe a theater in the round or something???
