Mercado de la Ribera, Covered market in Casco Viejo, Bilbao, Spain

The Mercado de la Ribera spans 10,000 square meters across three floors, housing fresh produce, meat, and seafood sections along the Nervion River.

Pedro Ispizua designed this Art Deco structure in 1929, incorporating decorative windows and ornamental elements that reflect the architectural trends of that period.

The market functions as a center for Basque gastronomy, where local producers display regional specialties and traditional food items from the surrounding areas.

Located near public transportation stops, the market contains over 60 vendors selling fresh ingredients, making it convenient for both residents and professional chefs.

The building features translucent floors that filter natural sunlight throughout the interior space, creating an open atmosphere without any supporting columns.
