Description
General view looking across the ring from the lower seats; The oldest bullring in Spain. During the annual Feria de Abril in Seville, it is the site of one of the most well-known bullfighting festivals in the world. The inner facade of the plaza (called the Palco del Príncipe or Prince's Box) was completed in 1765, and this "box" consists of two parts: the access gate through which the successful bullfighters exit, and the theater box itself, which is reserved for the exclusive use of the Spanish Royal Family. Between 1914 and 1915 the stone grandstands were redone in brick under the direction of Sevillian architect Aníbal González.
