Mercado San Camilo, Public market in Arequipa District, Peru
The San Camilo Market spans three city blocks with iron-roofed architecture, featuring hundreds of vendor stalls across multiple sections selling regional products.
The market opened in 1938 on the former site of San Camilo Church, which was destroyed by an earthquake in 1868.
Local vendors at San Camilo Market sell traditional Arequipa dishes, including stuffed rocoto peppers, adobo stews, and regional cheeses from surrounding valleys.
Located 600 meters from Plaza de Armas, the market operates Monday through Saturday from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM and Sundays until 1:00 PM.
The metal structure of San Camilo Market incorporates architectural elements attributed to French engineer Gustave Eiffel's design principles.
