Las Covachas, Gothic market hall in Sanlúcar de Barrameda, Spain
The Gothic structure features thirteen pointed arches supported by pillars, each adorned with stone serpents and basilisks along the facade.
The Covachas market hall was built in the late 15th century by Enrique Pérez de Guzmán, the Second Duke of Medina Sidonia, near the Sea Gate.
The building received Cultural Heritage status in 1978 along with the adjacent Medina Sidonia Palace, representing medieval Spanish commercial architecture.
The structure sits near Belén slope, connected to the old market district and accessible through the Ribera neighborhood of Sanlúcar de Barrameda.
The 1980s restoration revealed the complete Gothic facade by removing ground fill that previously obscured portions of the historical structure.
