The capacity of the square is 9,000 spectators. Circular in shape with an alley 1.30 meters high, it consists of three floors: laying, steps and gallery, to which four staircases lead, one at each access door to the enclosure. Among its dependencies it has a stables, corrals, ten pens, concierge, administration, bullfighting room, lockers, infirmary and slaughterhouse.

Full of history and legend, in which memorable evenings have been lived, the best right-handers and rejoneadores have tried their luck in its ring. But the one that continues to be recorded in the collective memory of the fans and for which the Linares arena is known worldwide, was for the death of Manuel Rodríguez Sánchez "Manolete" on August 29, 1947, by the miura called Islero. Next to the door of the groups there is a ceramic and marble plaque commemorating that tragic afternoon of the Royal Fair and Festivities of San Agustín.
