The Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla is one of the finest bullrings in Spain, and with seating for around 12,500 spectators, it is also one of the largest. Built in 1761, it is an emblematic landmark of Seville and its famous tradition of bullfighting.
The design is distinctly Baroque, with an oval-shaped ring that makes it unique among Spanish bullrings, and its graceful arcaded seating provides welcome shade on sunny days.
Housed within the bullring is a museum with a collection of traditional matador costumes, as well as photographs and paintings related to the dramatic art of bullfighting. The Bullfighters' Chapel, where the matadors pray before a fight, is also worth seeing.
