Mercado Adolpho Lisboa, 19th-century market hall in central Manaus, Brazil
Mercado Adolpho Lisboa is a 19th-century market hall in central Manaus, Brazil, standing directly on the banks of the Rio Negro. The structure displays cast iron columns, decorative railings, and colored glass panels distributed across several covered pavilions.
The market opened on July 15, 1883, during the rubber boom when Manaus was one of the wealthiest cities in South America. The iron components arrived by ship from Europe and were assembled on the riverbank.
The name honors Adolpho Lisboa, an important merchant from the rubber era, whose contribution to the city is celebrated in this lively meeting point. Vendors offer river fish such as tambaqui and pirarucu, caught directly from the Amazon and its tributaries.
The market hall sits a short walk from the historic center and is easy to reach on foot, with the main entrance facing Rua dos Bares. The two facades allow access from both the river and the street side, making orientation simple.
The colored glass panels inside were manufactured in Europe and crafted specifically for this market before being shipped across the Atlantic. The building reflects the wealth that rubber trade brought to Manaus, when imported European materials shaped the city's architectural style.
