Mercado Modelo, Central market and architectural structure in Bolivar, Montevideo, Uruguay.
The Mercado Modelo features a metal-structured roof and glass facades that allow natural light to filter through the entire commercial space.
Leopoldo Tosi, born to Italian immigrants in 1875, designed the market's structure while Bello & Reborati executed the construction in the early 1900s.
The market functions as a central distribution point for fresh produce, meats, and local products, connecting farmers directly with urban consumers.
Visitors can reach the market via public transportation, with multiple bus lines stopping near the entrance on Bolivar Street.
The building combines technical innovation with commercial functionality through its calculated metal structure, which was advanced for its construction period.
