Plaza de Toros de la Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla

Seville’s Real Maestranza de Caballería is one of the most famous and significant bullfighting arenas in Spain. Its original construction dates back to 1749, and the arena has been used to host the divisive local tradition for centuries. It’s estimated that over 4,000 bulls are killed as part of corridas around the country every year. To this day, bullfighting remains a popular tradition in Seville, despite being seen as controversial by individuals and organizations in and out of Spain. The annual Feria de Abril, or April Festival, features daily events in the Real Maestranza, which is known for its especially intense atmosphere.
