It is due to a design by architect Joaquín Rucoba (1844 - 1919), author of the Plaza de toros de La Malagueta, the Mercado de Atarazanas and park in Málaga, and the City Hall of Bilbao, among other works. It was the fourth infrastructure of these open features in Madrid at the end of 19th century, in a time when the sport of Basque pelota reached a remarkable popularity in the Spanish capital. It was preceded, in this order, the frontons Jai Alai (1891), Fiesta Alegre and Euskal Jai.
It was opened on April 29 of 1894[4] (other sources indicate the May 29 of the same year)[5] and it was in operation until the year 1919. With the Civil War during Siege of Madrid its facilities were converted into police station, and during the early years of the Francoist dictatorship, served as a test site for musical bands linked to the Spanish Falange. In the middle of 20th century, was sold the auto company Citroën, who used it as a repair shop.
In 1997 was bought for 2.3 million euros by the Basque company Jai Alai Fronton, initially intended its recovery for sport use. Subsequently, the property was taken over by the company Aguirene.[6]
