Central market of Concepción, Chile

The Central Market spans 3,600 square meters and contains numerous stalls offering fresh produce, seafood, meats, and local products under a large concrete structure.

Following the devastating 1939 Chillán earthquake, architects Tibor Weiner and Ricardo Müller designed this reinforced concrete building with parabolic vaults in 1940.

The market functions as a central meeting point for residents who gather to purchase regional products and share traditional Chilean cooking methods.

Located between Caupolicán, Freire, Rengo, and Maipú streets, the market provides fresh ingredients and ready-made meals throughout the business day.

The building incorporates earthquake-resistant design elements, featuring a central parabolic vault and a two-level commercial space at the front.
