Casa y Capilla de la Real Maestranza de Caballería

The Casa y Capilla de la Real Maestranza de Caballería is located in the Paseo de Cristóbal Colón, number 12, and was built between 1927 and 1930. It was the work of the Architect Aníbal González, the main reference for the Andalusian regional style of the early 20th century. It is on two floors and the ground floor houses the office of the Sr. Teniente de Hermano Mayor, the two libraries, the Chapel and the service areas. On the upper floor you will find the Main Hall, the Dining Room, and the Hall of Mirrors, through which the "Caballeros Maestrantes" (Royal Cavalry) and their families directly accessed the Bullring.

The Real Maestranza de Caballería was dedicated to the Virgen del Rosario, whose image together with the Childe Jesus, by the sculptor Cristóbal Ramos, presides over the magnificent Baroque altar in the Capilla de la Corporación. Capilla de la Real Maestranza is a chapel where church services are sometimes held because Holy Mass is celebrated there every Sunday and it is where the Caballeros Maestrantes and their families hold weddings and other religious acts.
