Plaza de toros de la Maestranza, Baroque bullring in El Arenal district, Seville, Spain
The Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza forms an oval-shaped arena with yellow and white facade, featuring ornate stone carvings and classical architectural elements.
Construction of the bullring began in 1733 with wooden structures, before the completion of the permanent stone building in 1881 at its current location.
The adjacent museum displays an extensive collection of 18th to 20th century paintings depicting bullfighting scenes, along with historical costumes and equipment.
Visitors can access guided tours from Monday to Sunday between 09:30 and 21:00, with regular bullfighting events scheduled during the spring season.
The chapel inside the arena contains an altar dedicated to Virgin of la Caridad, where matadors traditionally pray before entering the ring.

Seville reveals its story through the marks of many years. The Cathedral and its Giralda tower show the change from Gothic to baroque. The Royal Alcázar mixes Islamic designs with gardens shaded by orange trees. Walking through the streets, you move from the narrow alleys of Santa Cruz to the open views of Plaza de España, built in the early 20th century with channels and colorful tiles. Maria Luisa Park gives a break under the Mediterranean trees, not far from the Metropol Parasol with its modern wooden shapes that stand out against the old buildings. Along the Guadalquivir River, the Torre del Oro hints at how important the river was in medieval times. The Triana Bridge connects the city center to the pottery and sailor neighborhoods. Places like the Fine Arts Museum and the Hospital de los Venerables open doors to spaces where art and architecture meet. Each spot tells a different part of the story, with no one dominating.
Seville features an exceptional architectural and cultural ensemble. The city is home to the Gothic cathedral, the Moorish-influenced Alcázar, the Santa Cruz district, and the Plaza de España. Parks and gardens such as María Luisa offer spaces filled with orange trees and palm trees. The Guadalquivir River flows through the city, bordered by the Triana district known for its ceramics workshops. Museums, palaces, and churches house art collections from the Middle Ages to the present.
