Plaza de Toros de Valencia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plaza de Toros de Valencia, officially Plaça de bous de València, is a bullring in València, Spain. It was built between 1850 and 1859[2] in the neoclassical style, inspired by civil Roman architecture such as the Colosseum[2] in Rome or the Arena of Nîmes (France). It was built by the Valencian architect Sebastián Monleón Estellés. Its structure is formed by a 48-sided polygon, with 384 external arches. It follows the so-called Neo-Mudéjar style.
