La Monumental, Historical bullring in Fort Pienc, Barcelona, Spain
The Neo-Mudéjar brick structure combines Mudéjar and Byzantine architectural elements, featuring colorful tiles arranged in geometric patterns across its facade.
Inaugurated in 1914 as Plaza de El Sport, the venue expanded and received its current name La Monumental in 1916 under architect Manuel Raspall.
The Bullfighting Museum displays artifacts including historical posters, costumes from the 18th century, branding irons, and memorabilia from notable matadors.
Located at Gran Via 749, the facility remains open for visits at 6 euros admission, with direct access through Metro Line 2 station Monumental.
The last active bullring in Catalonia held its final bullfight in 2011 before the regional ban took effect in 2012.
