Real Maestranza de Caballería

The Real Maestranza de Caballería de Sevilla is a historic Spanish noble corporation with roots in equestrianism and bullfighting. It owns and manages the Plaza de Toros de la Maestranza in Seville, one of Spain's most important bullrings. The organization's origins trace back centuries, initially serving military purposes related to horsemanship. Today, it primarily focuses on preserving equestrian traditions and promoting bullfighting. The Real Maestranza is newsworthy due to the recent visit of King Juan Carlos I to its bullring in Seville. He attended a bullfight featuring Morante de la Puebla, Roca Rey, and David de Miranda, marking his return to Spain. The King's presence at the event highlights the continued cultural significance of bullfighting and the Real Maestranza's central role in this tradition. The event coincided with Easter celebrations, further amplifying its relevance.
