Tartu Kaubahoov, Historical market hall in central Tartu, Estonia
The market hall extended along the Emajõgi River between Poe Street and Kauba Street, featuring 128 Tuscan-style columns in a quadrangular layout.
Built between 1816 and 1819 under Governor-General Filippo Paulucci, the structure was designed by architect Georg Friedrich Geist to replace wooden shops near Raekoja Plats.
The marketplace earned the local name 'Venepoed' due to its numerous Russian merchants selling tobacco, leather, salt, and herring from their homeland.
The complex contained 40 shops by 1850, serving as both a commercial center and an overnight shelter for traveling merchants in its open courtyard.
Mart Jänes developed the largest clothing store in the Baltic region within Kaubahoov, attracting rural customers who typically avoided upscale establishments.
