Madrid POV: Inside Las Ventas Bullring | History, Architecture & Spanish Tradition

Описание: Explore Las Ventas, Madrid’s iconic Plaza de Toros, through an immersive POV walking tour that goes beyond the surface.

In this video, I take you inside one of the largest bullfighting arenas in the world, exploring its Neo-Mudéjar architecture, historic corridors, ceremonial entrances, underground passages, and the arena floor itself. This self-guided visit offers a rare look at the scale, design, and traditions behind one of Spain’s most debated and culturally significant landmarks.

Las Ventas opened in 1931 and seats over 23,000 spectators, making it the most important bullring in Spain. Even without an active event, the space carries immense atmosphere — from the tiled balconies and Moorish arches to the tunnels once used by matadors and bulls alike.

ABOUT LAS VENTAS (EDUCATIONAL BOOST)

Las Ventas is not just an arena — it’s a cultural monument.
Built in the Neo-Mudéjar style, the design reflects Spain’s Islamic architectural heritage through patterned brickwork, ceramic tiles, horseshoe arches, and ornate balconies.

While bullfighting remains controversial, Las Ventas today functions as:
• A museum and cultural site
• A concert and event venue
• A historical landmark
