Mercado de Atarazanas, Market hall in Centro district, Málaga, Spain

The Mercado de Atarazanas features three large iron-structured halls with stalls offering fresh produce, meat, fish, and local specialties throughout its trapezoidal floor plan.

Built between 1876 and 1879 by architect Joaquín Rucoba, the market incorporates a preserved Nasrid gate from the 14th-century shipyard that previously occupied the site.

The building combines neo-Arabic architectural elements with European market design influences, displaying decorative maritime medallions and traditional Nasrid heraldic symbols on its facade.

Located at Calle Atarazanas 10, the market operates Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, offering fresh regional products to both residents and visitors.

The main entrance features an original marble archway that once faced the Mediterranean Sea, marking the spot where ships were built during the Nasrid period.
