Mercado del Sur, Wholesale market in Gijón, Spain.
Mercado del Sur is a wholesale market in Gijón featuring a pentagonal structure with cast iron columns and large ornamented windows framing its metal perimeter. Inside, approximately 32 businesses currently operate, selling a range of goods to both retailers and customers.
The building was established in 1889 when the Gijón City Council authorized its construction. It underwent complete renovation in the late 1990s and reopened in 2001.
The market serves as a gathering place where local vendors sell fresh meat, fish, vegetables, and dairy products that residents depend on for daily meals. This type of commerce shapes how the neighborhood conducts its everyday life.
The market is accessible during business hours and can be entered from multiple points around the building. The interior offers enough space to walk between the stalls and browse the offerings.
The metal framework was manufactured by Fábrica de Mieres under engineer Buenaventura Junquera's direction. The structure blends elements from different architectural styles into one coherent design.
