Mercado Modelo, Municipal marketplace in Temuco, Chile
Mercado Modelo is a central marketplace housing a variety of retail spaces dedicated to different trades. The venue contains restaurants, craft stalls, butcher shops, and fishmongers serving the local community and visitors.
The original marketplace opened in 1930 and underwent several renovations over the decades. A fire in 2016 prompted its reconstruction with modern architectural features.
The marketplace serves as a gathering place where locals shop for regional specialties, including traditional Mapuche crafts, fresh produce, and local food items. Visitors can observe everyday shopping habits and experience the food traditions of southern Chile.
The marketplace is easily accessible in downtown Temuco with good pedestrian access between different sections. The facility includes parking options and spans multiple levels, making it convenient for visitors to explore various areas.
After the 2016 fire, the marketplace was redesigned with a modern timber roof structure that blends local building traditions with contemporary design. The multi-level reconstruction demonstrates an innovative approach to reviving a historic venue.
