Built over the course of seven years, from 1922 to 1929, Las Ventas is a grand bullring monument. Aside from traditional spectacles that pit matador and bull, Las Ventas is also a popular arena for rock concerts, festivals and even Davis Cup tennis. Nevertheless, Las Ventas is most vibrant as a hub of activity from March to December, when bullfights dominate the calendar of events. Spectacles typically endure for three hours and begin at 6:00 or 7:00 p.m. Visitors can access Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas from the Madrid Metro station of the same name.
