The Royal Bullring of Seville is possibly one of the national monuments most frequently reproduced in prints and photographs, to the point where it has been a fundamental component of the image and idea of Spain that has been projected since the era of the image began in the XIXth century.
The Plaza de Toros de Sevilla is the largest and most important arena for bullfighting in Spain. For example, the largest bullfighting festival in the world is held during the festival week Feria de Abril. The full name is "La Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla". The oval arena is located in the El Arenal harbour district, was built in the 18th century and can accommodate 13,000 spectators. The Plaza de Toros has a unique Baroque façade, dating from 1762-1881.
Museo Taurino (Museum of bullfighting)
In the Plaza de Toros, there is also the 'Museum of bullfighting' with, among other things, a hall with paintings about bullfighting. The museum displays all kinds of objects that show the history and evolution of bullfighting and toreros in Spain.
Located near the bullfighting arena are several statues of people who were significant in the history of bullfighting, like the toreators Curro Romero, Manolo Vázquez and Maria de las Mercedes from Bourbon-Sicily, the mother of King Juan Carlos.
