Marché couvert d'Annaba

The building features a trapezoidal shape with two monumental entrances, steel and concrete construction, and traditional North African architectural elements spanning 4200 square meters.

Built between 1936 and 1938, this market replaced the former Fondouk de Bone, addressing the needs for modernization and improved sanitation in the growing city.

The market structure incorporates both Art Deco design and local architectural elements, including decorative mashrabiyas and a clock-equipped minaret tower.

The ground floor contains peripheral galleries with fishmongers and shops, while the upper level houses 205 stalls for fruits, vegetables, and poultry vendors.

The building's roof employs reinforced concrete louvers for natural ventilation and lighting, supported by concrete beams anchored 14 meters deep into the ground.
