This building is situated on the land called Las Ventas del Espíritu Santo, to which it owes its name. It has a ring with a diameter of 60 metres and with a total area of 45,800 square meters, which makes it the largest in Spain and the third largest in the world, behind Mexico and Venezuela. Constructed in a Neo-Mudéjar style with hand-painted tiles, it houses an important bullfighting museum that illustrates the history of Las Ventas.

Located in the Patio de Caballos, the Bullfighting Museum of Madrid is an emblematic section of the building portraying its history and relevance for Spanish history and culture.
