The Bullfighting Museum in Valencia offers a detailed tour of the evolution of bullfighting from the eighteenth century to the nineteenth century, providing details of the clothing of bullfighters throughout history.

MUSEUM: Model of the Arena.

You will also discover a small-scale model of the Bullring, as well as a dissecated specimen of a bull , the other main protagonist of a bullfight.

PLATES . The repeated successes of the

bullfighters have them admired by both the audience and the institutions, and the ones who deserve to be recognized and remembered are honoured with plates as the ones you can see around the arena.

CHAPEL.This is one of the moments of greatest emotional recollection and living a matador before leaving the ring the entrance to the chapel.

COURTYARD OF CUADRILLA. This is this place where the bullfighters meet after going to pray at the chapel. They await here the precise moment when the President, at the exact time, will take out the white handkerchief which gives

order to start the bullfight and the “paseíllo”.

THE RING The ring is this magic circle where the show takes place, the stage where everything comes to life.

CORRALS & CHIQUEROS On the day of the bullfight, the bulls arrive from the countryside and will

await the moment of the bullfight in individual spaces called “chiqueros” ..

THE ARENA TODAY The Plaza de toros of Valencia has been adapted to the

times being, with several reforms and construction works which have improved its image.

THE PRESIDENCY

The President is the highest authority in a bullfight.

LIDIA AND TERCIOSThe fighting of a bull is divided into several parts or “thirds” : third of receiving the bull, third of banderillas

and the ultimate third.

INFIRMARY. It is the turn to go through one of the coldest places in

this and all the arenas. Do not forget that the tragedy is part of this colorful and wonderful world.

GATE OF TRIUMPH.

The final point of this circuit is the one through which all bullfighters dream to go.
