Valencia, Arena

Plaza de Toros de Valencia

It was built between 1850 and 1859 in the neoclassical style, inspired by civil Roman architecture such as the Colosseum in Rome or the Arena of Nîmes (France). Originally the bullring had an inside diameter of 52 meters, which was later reduced. Plaza de Toros is one of the more beautiful bullrings in Spain. The bullfighting arena is situated in the Centro district of the city, at 28 Calle de Xàtiva Valencia. It is located next to the North Station and also close to the Plaza del Ayuntamiento (Town Hall Square). Right in front of the bullring, there is a metro station called "Xàtiva" with the lines number 3, 5 and 9.
