Get to Know the Market
A little background
aragoza’s Plaza del Mercado has been the city’s market for about seven hundred years, ever since a king of Aragon decided to move it from the Cinegia Gate—now Plaza de España—to the area around the Toledo Gate. The San Pablo neighborhood grew up around it, and for centuries, sales took place outdoors.
The current building was designed in 1895 by the Aragonese architect Félix Navarro Pérez, commissioned by the Sociedad Nuevo Mercado de Zaragoza. Navarro had visited the 1889 Paris World’s Fair and was familiar with Les Halles, influences that are reflected in his design: a rectangular floor plan with three naves—the central one being taller and wider—resting on a half-basement intended for storage. He used an iron structure but clad the facades with brick and stone because the aesthetic qualities of iron were still not widely appreciated. Construction began on January 8, 1902, and required the demolition of part of the Roman wall.
It was inaugurated in 1903. In 1969, it was nearly demolished as part of a project to widen César Augusto Avenue, but was spared thanks to pressure from local residents. It has been a National Historic Monument since 1978 and a Site of Cultural Interest since 1982. A comprehensive restoration was carried out between 2018 and 2020.
