Mercado de Salamanca, Market in Málaga, Spain.
Mercado de Salamanca is a marketplace building in Málaga featuring Moorish Revival architectural elements. Inside, rows of vendor stalls display and sell fresh produce, meats, fish, and regional food products.
Architect Daniel Rubio Sánchez designed the building in 1925 with Moorish Revival architectural elements. The construction combined practical market functionality with decorative details reflecting the region's architectural heritage.
The market embodies the daily food culture of Málaga, where locals gather to select fresh ingredients and chat with vendors and neighbors. The way sellers present their goods and shoppers browse reflects traditions that have remained part of community life for generations.
The market is centrally located in Málaga and easily accessible on foot. Morning visits are best, when stock is fullest and crowds are lighter.
The building blends working market design with decorative Moorish arches and ornamental details rarely seen in functional spaces. This approach in the 1920s brought historical architectural styles into everyday commerce buildings.
