Mercat Central

One of our favorite mercats de Valencia! Previously markets used to be held here, in the open air. They were those typical stalls with white canopies and colourful merchandise.

From 1839 this was complemented by a building that was used for this purpose. But with the turn of the century it soon became clear that people needed more space.

Construction started in 1910 and the mercat was finished in 1928.

It was totally worth it because it became a real masterpiece. In this area we have lots of amazing apartments.
