Mercado de Abasto Tirso de Molina

The two-story market building spans 8,200 square meters, featuring numerous food stalls, grocery vendors, and international eateries on the northern bank of Mapocho River.

The market's commercial origins trace back to the 1950s near a tram station, leading to its establishment in Vega Chica before the current structure opened in 2011.

The market reflects Santiago's multicultural identity through its diverse food offerings from Peru, Colombia, Venezuela, and Chile, with many family-operated businesses spanning generations.

Located near Cal y Canto metro station, the market operates daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM, offering affordable meals between 3,000 and 5,000 Chilean pesos.

The modern building features translucent roof modules supported by tall pillars, creating natural lighting effects that illuminate the market's two commercial levels.
