Full description

Las Ventas opened in 1931 and is famous for its neo-Mudéjar architecture: horseshoe arches, decorative tiles and patterned brickwork wrapped around an enormous ring. The visit takes you into the stands and onto the sand of the arena, through the areas once used by performers, and into the small chapel and infirmary.

The ticket also includes the museum, which displays costumes, posters and paintings related to the building’s history. It is a visit to the building on non-event days; no live events are part of this ticket.
