Mercado Aberlardo Rodríguez

Mercado Abelardo Rodríguez is a public marketplace in Mexico City's historic center that spans multiple levels with four entrances. The space contains food vendors, craft sellers, and shops offering daily necessities and household goods.

The market was built in 1934 during President Abelardo Rodríguez's administration as a way to relocate street vendors from the surrounding area. It was constructed on the grounds of a former college that once stood there.

The murals covering the walls and ceilings show Mexican workers and their daily lives, created by students of Diego Rivera. They shape how the market feels and tell the story of the people who work and shop here.

The market sits northeast of the Zócalo in the historic quarter, making it easy to reach from central areas. You'll find fresh food and ready-to-eat meals available daily, along with shops for everyday items.

The market was among the first places in Mexico to combine commerce with community services like childcare and meeting spaces under one roof. These additions reflect a thoughtful approach to serving workers and families in the area.
