Plaza de toros de Aranjuez

The circular structure features three levels of galleries, wooden balconies under arches, and stone-brick walls forming a 48-sided exterior polygon.

King Carlos IV ordered the construction of this bullring in 1796, replacing an earlier arena from 1760, and inaugurated it on May 14, 1797.

The arena holds regular bullfighting events on May 30 each year during the San Fernando festival, maintaining Spanish bullfighting traditions.

The bullring accommodates 9,500 spectators and offers guided tours on Sundays and Mondays at 11:30 and 13:00, with general admission at 5 euros.

The royal family maintains a private entrance and staircase leading directly to the Royal Box, reflecting the building's connection to Spanish monarchy.
