Plaza Monumental de Barcelona

Local namePlaça de Braus Monumental
LocationEixample, Barcelona, Spain

The Plaza de Toros Monumental de Barcelona, often known simply as La Monumental, is a bullring in the city of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. It was the last bullfighting arena in commercial operation in Catalonia. It was inaugurated in 1914 under the name Plaza de El Sport and was soon expanded and given its current name in 1916. It is situated at the confluence of the Gran Via and Carrer Marina in the Eixample district. It had a capacity of 19,582 within 26 rows of lines, boxes, and stands on the first floor inside and an upper gallery surrounding the building.

It was the last place in Catalonia where bullfights were held since the Parliament of Catalonia passed a law banning bullfighting events on 28 July 2010 that came into force in 2012. Though the ban was overturned in 2016, no further bullfights had taken place as of July 2020.It is owned by the Balañá family, who placed it under the control of the Casa Matilla, an organisation which manages a number of bullrings.
