Plaza de Toros de Melilla
Plaza de Toros de Melilla, known as the "Mosque of Bullfighting," is an important landmark of the city, inaugurated in 1942. It is famous for its unique architecture, which blends Muslim and bullfighting styles. During the Feria de Melilla, held in September, the plaza hosts bullfights featuring prominent bullfighters and top-tier bulls, making it one of the most important events of the year. In addition to bullfights, the plaza houses a bullfighting museum and organizes various events related to bullfighting culture. The plaza stands as a cultural symbol of Melilla, where bullfighting traditions are kept alive, despite the controversy surrounding this spectacle.
