Mercado Central

(Valencia)

This great modernist building was designed in 1914, although the Central Market was not inaugurated until 1928. Located in Valencia (Valencian Community), it consists of a ground floor and basement, with columns and vaults with a brick base. Both floors are organised in rectangular alleys, crossed by two main lanes along which the 959 stalls are set. The ceramic covered partitions, in the lower parts, along with the stone, wood, and colorful glass windows make the building an excellent example of the modernist architecture.
