Barcelona - Mercat de Sant Antoni

The Mercat de Sant Antoni at the southwestern edge of the Barri Xino is one of the largest market halls in Barcelona still in active use. The steel-skeleton building (1872-82) by Antoni Rovira i Trias occupies the area of a complete block of streets and the market offers an extremely large choice of fruit, vegetables, fish and seafood. Around the outside of the building are stalls selling textiles, books, records, coins, stamps, etc.
