Bullring

The Bullring, in Spanish “Plaza de Toros“, is located next to the Valencia North Station and close to Plaza del Ayuntamiento.

Plaza de Toros is one of the most impressive neoclassic buildings in Valencia with its 48-side polygonal shape. It measures more than 52 meters in diameter and 17 meters high. It is one of the biggest bullrings in Spain.
The construction of the Plaza de Toros de Valencia was led by the Valencian architect Sebastián Monleón Estellés. The project took over 10 years, from 1850 to 1860, and was built over a previous unfinished square. It was inspired the same civil roman architecture that we can find in buildings such as Nimes Amphitheater (France) or the Coliseum in Rome.

Since 1995 it has been managed by a private company. To this day the bullring remains active with bull shows and hosting different events within its structure.

We highly recommend visiting Plaza de Toros not only to experience a traditional Spanish custom but also because it is listed as one of the best places to visit in Valencia.
