Bullfighting Museum, Madrid, Spain
Bullfighting Museum, Madrid, Spain Welcome to Las Ventas Bullring, considered the Bullfighting Cathedral. The most important bullring in the world. The one which gives everything and takes everything away. The biggest reward for those who manage to leave through its Puerta Grande and a challenge for those who hardly think about it. Las Ventas Bullring was built in 1929 on the land called Las Ventas del Espíritu Santo, to which it owes its name. It is the largest bullring in Spain, with a total area of 45,800 square meters and capacity for 23,797 people.
The Bullfighting Museum of Madrid is located in the Patio de Caballos in an emblematic section of the building and with a collection that offers a clear and harmonious vision of the history of bullfighting in Spain. Among its works are engravings of the bullfighting of Goya, dressed as bullfighters of the twentieth century, a section dedicated exclusively to Manolete and a huge sample of the testimonies of Las Ventas.

This self guided audio tour was excellent, and we took the full 90 minutes to explore and take lots of photos. It was great that they were preparing for upcoming bullfights as there was some activity around the arena. We are not typically blood sport fans but the respect for the bulls and matadors comes through equally and inspired us to book tickets for a bullfight. The museum is all about the matadors and we skipped a bit as we don’t know them but still interesting.

A wonderful building steeped in history and still being used today for the nations tradition of bullfighting. The tour gives you a good insight into the behind scene of bullfighting. Definitely recommend the tour with audio to get the full history.
