Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África, Market hall in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain.
The Mercado de Nuestra Señora de África features three large courtyards with Spanish colonial architecture, arches, and a Mudéjar-style tower.
Architect José Enrique Marrero Regalado designed this neocolonial marketplace, which opened its doors to the public on January 4, 1944.
A sculpture at the entrance titled 'Homenaje al chicharrero' depicts two fishermen pulling their boat, representing local fishing traditions.
The market contains multiple sections dedicated to fresh produce, fish, meat, local delicacies, and handcrafted goods from the Canary Islands.
The Guardian newspaper ranked this market among the world's top ten markets in 2019, alongside establishments in Fez, Jerusalem, and Singapore.
