Plaza de Toros de Valencia, Neoclassical bullring in Russafa, Spain.
The Plaza de Toros de Valencia features 384 external arches within its circular structure, combining Roman architectural elements with traditional Spanish design patterns.
Architect Sebastian Monleon constructed this 12,000-capacity arena between 1850 and 1859, placing it strategically outside the former city walls near Russafa Gate.
The arena hosts numerous bullfighting events during Las Fallas festival in March and the July Fair, continuing centuries of Spanish traditions.
Located next to Valencia North Station at 28 Carrer de Xativa, the bullring offers guided tours from Tuesday through Saturday between 10:00 and 19:00.
The building incorporates cast iron columns throughout its structure, making it among the first Spanish arenas to use this innovative construction technique.
