Paolo and Alberto Anceschi, leaders in the design and construction of circus structures since 1950, have undertaken a high-level project for the renowned Circo Wow in Valencia.

The project involved modifying a pre-existing structure—an imposing structural arch—and was carried out with the dedication, experience, and precision that have always distinguished Paolo and Alberto Anceschi.

The Location

The site of this incredible work is none other than the historic Plaza de Toros in Valencia, a place rich in history and charm.

The Historic Plaza de Toros of Valencia

Built in the 19th century, the Plaza de Toros of Valencia is one of the most iconic buildings in the Spanish city. With its neoclassical architecture and Roman influences, this majestic arena resembles ancient amphitheaters and stands as a symbol of Valencia’s cultural heritage.

With a capacity of over 12,000 spectators, the Plaza de Toros serves as a prime venue for cultural events, concerts, and, as in this case, world-class circus performances.

The grandeur and elegance of the arena provided the perfect backdrop for the installation of the arch.

The Arch Installation

The installation process required careful planning and flawless execution. The structure, composed of nine main pieces and two base elements, was transported and assembled directly on-site. Thanks to its modular design and advanced construction techniques, the arch was erected quickly despite its impressive size. for its impressive technical features

Each truss, measuring 120 cm x 87 cm, was positioned with millimeter precision to ensure the stability and safety of the entire structure. The use of motors to lift the dome was essential in facilitating the entire process, demonstrating the engineering quality and attention to detail that define Paolo and Alberto Anceschi’s work.

A Fascinating Contrast Between Tradition and Innovation

Seeing the modern arch towering at the center of the Plaza de Toros was a unique spectacle. The structure, with its contemporary lines, seamlessly integrates into the historic arena, creating a visual dialogue between past and present.

The installation within such a prestigious location highlights the ability to work in settings of high symbolic value, adapting advanced technical solutions to the specific needs of the environment.

This project, now in its final stages, blends modern engineering with the grandeur of a historic space and further reinforces our leadership in the field of circus structures.
