One of the great monuments to bullfighting art can be found beside the Guadalquivir River and a few steps from the centre of Seville. It is, it could not be otherwise because of the great enthusiasm for bullfighting that has always characterised the good Sevillian connoisseur, Seville’s Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza bullring.

Located overlooking one of the emblematic places in Seville city, the Arenal neighbourhood, it stands watching the passing of time while the fine and impressive bullfighting performances never grow old inside. Some of the greatest afternoons of glory have been experienced by those who came to the bullring and were able, years later, to recall those great feats of their admired bullfighters.

On its right side stands the statue of the great bullfighter Curro Romero, next to the monument to the legendary bullfighting businessman Diodoro Canorea Arquero. On the left, the building of the Real Maestranza de Caballería presided over by the statue of the Countess of Barcelona, a great fan of bullfighting.

BOOK VISIT

What to see

The bullring is, in itself, a grandiose monument that deserves leisurely contemplation. The visit begins with the contemplation of the bullring itself, which is accessed below the Palco del Príncipe (Prince’s Box), a distinctive place if ever there was one.

The keys to the museum are the collection of bullfighting paintings and the Chapel of the Bullfighters, presided over by an altarpiece of the Virgen del Rosario.

Almost speechless at the beauty contemplated, we will head for the Bullfighting Museum, where we can find four rooms dedicated to the Real Maestranza de Sevilla, to which the bullring belongs, and the noble art of bullfighting with mementoes of the initiators of this art, pictures, such as engravings by Goya or a painting by Fortuny, sculptures such as Mariano Benlliure posters of the eighteenth century, the head of Islera, mother of the bull Islero, which killed Manolete, and other really interesting works of art.

Bullfighting season

One of the highlights of any self-respecting monument to bullfighting, which this bullring is in its own right, is the bullfighting season. Here, it begins on Easter Sunday and continues with the celebrations of the April Fair, and bullfights can be seen at various times such as Corpus Christi, the festivity of the Virgen de los Reyes, the Feria de San Miguel, etc, concluding on the 12th of October. It is also possible to see bullfights on certain weekends in July and August.
