Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza

Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza in Seville is one of Spain’s most iconic bullrings, located along the Guadalquivir River near the Torre del Oro. Known for its stunning Baroque architecture and vibrant yellow and white façade, it dates back to the 18th century and remains a centerpiece of Spain's bullfighting tradition. Visitors can explore its museum, which showcases the history of bullfighting, and enjoy guided tours of the arena, chapel, and royal box.

Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza houses one of the finest bullrings in Spain, and also one of the oldest ones. Highly popular among the Spanish, especially in Seville, the Catedral del Toreo is the best place to experience the thrill of corrida (bullfight). The building has an impressive Baroque facade and the arena can accommodate about 14,000 people. Puerta del Principe is the beautiful main entrance with iron gates, made by Pedro Roldan. There is also one small and interesting museum in the plaza which traces the history of the sport from 18th century to the modern times. It has a nice collection of posters, costumes and bull heads, along with some paintings by Juan Belmonte and Joselito El Gallo, two famous bullfighters. The main season for corrida is from Easter Sunday to 12 October, and it has almost 20 fights as a whole. Overlooking the river Guadalquivir, the Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza is located on Paseo de Colon.
