Mercado Central de Alicante, Art Nouveau marketplace in central Alicante, Spain.
The Mercado Central spans two levels with a rectangular layout and features a distinctive circular section crowned by a semispherical dome called La Rotonda.
The market building, completed in 1921, stands on the former site of 18th-century city walls and suffered bombing during the Spanish Civil War in 1938.
Local vendors maintain traditional trading practices at numerous stalls, offering fresh produce, meats, fish, and regional specialties from the Alicante province.
The marketplace operates Monday through Friday from 07:30 to 14:00 and Saturdays from 06:30 to 15:00, with direct access via tram lines L1 through L9.
The building combines Valencian Art Nouveau elements designed by architects Francisco Fajardo Guardiola and Juan Vidal Ramos with functional market architecture.
