This market is the most significant example of the modernist architecture in the city developed at the beginning of the 20th century and is located in the heart of the city, between the Silk Exchange and the Church of the Santos Juanes. On the outside, its two domes made of iron, glass and ceramic and the weather vanes that crown them stand out. One of them is shaped like a swordfish and indicates the place reserved for the fish market area and the other is shaped like a parrot and indicates the area dedicated to garden products.< /strong> Inside we find an orthogonally ordered distribution, that is, a series of rectilinear streets are crossed by others perpendicularly where we can find more than 900 stalls of all kinds of products: butchery, bacon, groceries and hardware; low shops selling potatoes, legumes, vegetables, fruits and chicken; tall shops open for the sale of bread, poultry, meat and game; and, in the fish market, tall shops for selling salted fish and offal, and low shops for fish.
