Designed by Spanish architect José Espeliú and inaugurated in 1931, the beautiful Neo-Mudejar edifice has a sitting capacity of 25,000 and a huge arena with a diameter of 60 meters. In addition to its historical importance , the prestigious site embodies a true architectural marvel beautifully decorated with horseshoe archways and ceramic tiles depicting the coats of arms of all Spanish provinces.
Las Ventas can be visited every day, except the public holidays, but the best periods to experience bullfighting in Madrid are during San Isidro Fair between May and June, or throughout the official season which lasts from the end of March to October.
Throughout the year, Madrid bullring plays host to a series of proceedings including concerts, as well as cultural, sport and entertainment events. Nowadays, Las Ventas is undergoing a renovation with the erection of a rooftop aimed to transform the building into a year round venue.
