Real Maestranza Bullring
Plaza de toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla
One of Spain's oldest and most prestigious bullrings, with a Baroque white and yellow façade. Visitors can tour the stands and the bullfighting museum with a guide.
Construction of the bullring began in 1761 and was completed in 1881. Its oval arena holds about 12,000 people, and it is considered a 'temple' of bullfighting culture. On non-bullfighting days, you can join an audio or live guided tour of about 40 minutes to see the stands, the royal box, the matadors' chapel and the museum, for about €10. The bullfighting season runs from the April Fair (Feria de Abril) through the end of September. It sits on the riverside, a 5-minute walk from the Torre del Oro. Whether to attend a bullfight is entirely up to you.
Opening hours
Tours about 09:30–19:00 (end earlier on bullfight days)
