Experts' Choice Award Real Maestranza de Caballeria de Sevilla
What the experts agree on
Seville's 18th-century bullring is Spain's most storied plaza de toros, with a fascinating museum, chapel, and stables to explore. It's a polarizing cultural experience—iconic heritage for some, ethically troubling for others.
“Sevillanos have spent many a thrilling evening in this bullring, one of the oldest and loveliest plazas de toros in Spain, built between 1760 and 1763.”
– Fodor's
Concierge "This elegant ring, flanked by stables and a chapel, is one of the oldest and most beautiful in Spain."
