PLAZA DE TOROS MONUMENTAL
La Monumental bullring is the only bullring in the city of Barcelona, located at the crossroads of Gran Via des Corts Catalanes and Carrer Marina. They are listed as a "property of local cultural interest". Inaugurated in 1914, they were remodeled in 1916 to accommodate up to 24,000 spectators. Neo-Mudejar and neo-Byzantine in style, they are decorated with blue and white mosaics. With a current capacity of 19,500, the arena hosts a variety of musical and circus events. A metro station, named Monumental, serves the arena from carrer Marina. In 2014, a project to transform the arena into a forty-thousand-seat mosque was proposed by Qatar, but has since been abandoned.
