Mercado Del Progreso, Historical food market in Caballito, Argentina.
The Mercado del Progreso spans 3,600 square meters and contains 174 interior stalls plus 17 street-facing shops selling fresh produce, meats, and local goods.
Founded in 1889 by the Caballito Progress Society under President Miguel Juárez Celman, the market began with 53 stalls at the intersection of Rivadavia and Silva streets.
Many current vendors represent multiple generations of family businesses, maintaining traditional Argentine food practices and commercial relationships within the neighborhood.
The market building features a metal roof design that allows natural light and ventilation, with multiple entrances accessible from different surrounding streets.
In 1957, the market transformed into a shareholder corporation between the original owners and tenants, creating a cooperative management structure that continues today.
