Description

The final evening of the AIJA Congress will be held in the Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas.

Known simply as Las Ventas, this bullfighting ring is the largest in Spain, located in the Guindalera quarter of the Salamanca district of Madrid. Built in the early 20th century, specifically inaugurated in 1931, it is renowned for its impressive architecture and historical significance in Spanish culture.

Key features of Las Ventas include its imposing façade adorned with Moorish and Neo-Mudéjar architectural elements, reflecting the rich heritage of Spain. The bullring’s interior boasts a seating capacity of over 23,000 spectators, making it one of the largest bullfighting arenas globally.

Las Ventas is not only a venue for bullfighting events but also serves as a cultural centre, hosting concerts, exhibitions, and other performances throughout the year. It has become a symbol of Spanish tradition and attracts visitors from around the world who come to witness the spectacle of bullfighting or to experience the vibrant atmosphere of its events.
