 the bullring of Seville, great
colors by tompt
The bullring is oval, which is not normal, most bullrings are round. If you want to know more about the bullring you can visit on a tour. A guide will tell you about the bullring, the 4 gates, and then take you to the hospitalroom and the museum. The museum has 4 rooms each representing another time. It is a short visit (around 20 minutes in total) and you should not expect very much.
Open: 9:30-14:00 and 15:00 - 19:00 Leave a Comment

 THE BULL FIGHT RING... by eden_teuling
It is also known by the name of FLEA MARKET SQUARE because the bull ring was built on the site where the flea market was once held, that is where sailors and travellers exchanged pledges...
The Real Maestranza, which owns the square, is a noble corporation founded by King Charles II in 1670 with the name of Real Maestranza de la Cavaleria.
The noblest and most influential families in Seville were members of the corporation. Its aim was to protect the chivalry and military codes.
In the 18th Century was authorized by the King to build a bull ring. The architect was Vincente San Martin who started building in 1761.
I had a guided tour here and for more photos you have to go to my TRAVELOGUES....
There is a lot to be seen inside such as the CHAPEL, the place where the bull fighters say their last praying before it all starts.
There is also a museum and....an EMERGENCY room where an operating table is ready for those who get wounded by the bull......
Lots of mementos and also a nice shop for souvenirs....
Worthy of a visit....seeing the ring filled with the wonderful ochre sand under the deep-blue skies with the hot sun above makes it all very special and exciting a place... Leave a Comment

 Plaza de Toros by jamiesno
The Maestranza Bullring of Seville, dating from 1761 to 1881, has a Baroque facade in white and ochre. The tendidos altos (high seats) are covered by a roof which is supported by arcs on marble columns.
The Maestranza bullring of Seville is regarded, together with Las Ventas in Madrid, as one of the top venues for bullfighting in Spain, accomodating as many as 12,500 spectators.
I have a link to my travelogue where you can get some more pictures of the facility and the museum within the building. I enjoyed learning more about history and how many great matadors ended their lives it seemed!
Enjoy the pictures! I love your comments if you have time to leave some. Leave a Comment

Seville's famous bullring with its 116 asymmetrical balconies dates from 18th century. This was just a short walk from our hotel and was our first landmark. Out is a statue of one of Sevilla' s most famous bullfighters and inside you can vist its museum if you wish.

Even if I don't find so enjoyable the bullfighting, listening to the guide I had to admit that it's an important part of their culture. Phone: 95 422 45 77
