Torvehallerne, Market hall at Israels Plads, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Torvehallerne is a market hall complex with two parallel buildings at Israels Plads in Copenhagen. Between them lies an open marketplace where vendors regularly sell their goods and visitors gather to shop and eat.
The project began in 1997 through a citizen movement that gathered over 2000 signatures, and the city council approved it in 2001. Construction followed, and the market hall opened to the public in 2011.
The site honors the legacy of Grønttorvet, which operated here until 1958 and supplied the area with fresh produce. This connection to vegetable trading culture remains visible in how people gather and shop here today.
Inside you will find many stalls with food, produce, and local goods, along with cafes for eating. Seating is available for many visitors, and restrooms are located near the food areas.
The granite pavement gradually shifts from coarse to fine texture as you approach the halls. In the evenings, star-shaped lights appear on the buildings and ground in geometric patterns.
