Barcelona’s La Monumental Bullring, with its flamboyant neo-Mudéjar and Byzantine facade adorned with Iberian blue-and-white tiles, stands as a striking architectural landmark. Originally the largest bullring in Barcelona, it could accommodate up to 20,000 seated spectators and an additional 5,000 standing. Since the ban on bullfighting in 2012, the venue has been repurposed, now serving as a bullfighting museum and concert venue. Visitors today can explore the rich history of bullfighting through exhibits and enjoy a variety of musical performances in this historic setting.
