Plaza de Toros la Santamaría

This guide to Plaza de Toros la Santamaría in Bogotá centers on a single afternoon in 1956, when whistling and catcalls from the stands reached the presidential box during a bullfight honoring the ring's anniversary. The target was María Eugenia Rojas, daughter of Colombia's military dictator, and the insult was one a regime chose not to forgive. A week later the same crowd filed back in for another match, unaware of who else had filed in with them. Stand in the stone tiers and look down at the ring where it began.
