Municipal Market of Feira de Santana, Historic marketplace in Feira de Santana, Brazil
The Municipal Market spans 2,562 square meters with a rectangular floor plan, featuring high windows with pointed arches and ornamental ceramic jars atop pilasters.
Engineer Acciolly Ferreira da Silva designed this market, which opened in 1915 after construction delays, initially organizing the meat trade for safety purposes.
The market transformed from a meat trading venue to a folk art center in 1980, becoming a central location for local artisans to showcase traditional crafts.
Located on Praça João Pedreira, the market operates in a pedestrian-only area, making it accessible for visitors exploring local products and handicrafts.
The building combines three architectural styles - Eclectic, Neoclassical, and Gothic Revival - sharing design elements with the nearby Town Hall.
