Mercado Central de Atarazanas in Málaga, Spain

 


Mercado Central de Atarazanas is the largest food market in Málaga, the capital of Spain's Costa del Sol. Freshly caught seafood (so fresh it's still moving) is the major product at the market at this coastal city. But there's a lot more than that including olives, spices, cured meats, cheeses, and fruits and vegetables. 


The current structure was completed in 1879. It was the site of 14th century Nasrid shipyards and the monumental gates were preserved as part of the current building. It was also a warehouse, arsenal, military hospital and barracks before being converted into a market. It's a perfect fusion of 14th century Mudejar architecture with 19th century industrial design.
