An arena or enclosure where bullfights are held; a place where bulls are fought by matadors for entertainment.
From 'bull' + 'ring' (circular enclosure). Spanish 'plaza de toros' became known in English as bullring, the term standardized in the 1800s as bullfighting became known internationally.
Spanish bullrings are architectural marvels—some like Las Ventas in Madrid are massive circular amphitheaters holding 25,000 spectators, designed with precise geometry for the dangerous dance of matador and bull.
