Barceló Street Market
The Barceló Market is one of the most iconic municipal markets in Madrid’s Centro district, located at 6 Barceló Street in the Justicia neighborhood. Reopened in 2014 as the Barceló Multipurpose Center following a comprehensive renovation designed by architects Enrique Sobejano and Fuensanta Nieto, this Madrid market combines a municipal fresh produce market, a public library, a sports center, and a leading cultural center all under one roof. The Barceló Market retains the commercial spirit of the original 1956 market hall, featuring food stalls, a butcher shop, a fish market, a fruit stand, a bakery, and gourmet products, all integrated into a multifunctional public facility in downtown Madrid. Its distinctive white façade and geometric skylights make it a must-see stop on any tour of Madrid’s most contemporary markets, attracting thousands of visitors each week.

A little background
he original Barcelo Market opened on June 30, 1956, after two years of construction, replacing the open-air stalls on the Corredera and consolidating the food supply for Madrid’s Justicia neighborhood. This market holds unique historical significance: in October 1937, at its former location, what is considered Spain’s first self-service supermarket was established as part of a pilot program—a pioneering experiment in the modernization of the food retail industry.
Between 2009 and 2014, the Barceló Market was completely demolished and rebuilt with a budget of 64 million euros, giving rise to the current Barceló Multipurpose Center, designed by architects Enrique Sobejano and Fuensanta Nieto. Reopened in 2014, the new building houses the municipal market, a public library, a sports center with a swimming pool, and a cultural center, making it one of the leading examples of Madrid’s new 21st-century markets within the city’s municipal market network.
