The Plaza de Toros Monumental is located at Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 749, in Barcelona, Spain. This was one of the bullrings of Barcelona and was inaugurated in 1913 as the Plaza de El Sport. Almost immediately after opening, it was remodeled and expanded to reopen in 1916 as Plaza De Toros Monumental De Barcelona, or “La Monumental”. The original design was in the Noucentista architectural style thanks to architect Manuel Joaquim Raspall i Mayol. The expansion, designed by Ignasi Mas i Morelli and Domenec Sugranes i Gras, was strongly influenced by Mudejar and Byzantine styles. Plaza De Toros Monumental De Barcelona seats 19,582 within 26 rows of seats, boxes, and bleachers.
Bullfights at Plaza De Toros Monumental De Barcelona are no longer held as bullfighting was banned in Catalunya on July 28, 2010; however, the bullfighting museum at Plaza De Toros Monumental De Barcelona offers an interesting and thorough bullfighting history. Circuses and musical events at Plaza De Toros Monumental De Barcelona were traditionally held during the off-season and are still occasionally held.
