Plaza de Toros Monumental de Barcelona was inaugurated in 1914 with the first bullfights in this place. The Monumental is a building made of brick; its style is a mixture of Mudéjar (Moors) and Byzantine. It is, at the moment, the unique place of Barcelona where bullfights are celebrated. Besides bullfighting events, the Monumental is often scene of musical events and circus spectacles. Open during the bull fighting season, it is one of the most interesting museums related to this activity. Although the city of Barcelona is officially anti-bullfighting, many aficionados are coming every year to see bullfights in this place. The bullfighting season begins approximately in April and finishes at the end of September.
