bullrings
Toreador performance spaces
Bullrings are arenas where bullfights take place, typically circular with tiered seating surrounding a sand-covered ring.
The architecture is designed for spectators to view the contest between matador and bull from all angles.
Spain's Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas in Madrid is among the most famous.
The term also describes nose rings worn by bulls.
