Mercado Municipal, Colonial market in downtown Maputo, Mozambique.
The covered market hall contains multiple sections with fresh produce, seafood, spices, nuts, and local handicrafts arranged in organized stalls.
Portuguese architect Carlos Mendes designed the market building in 1900, drawing inspiration from Hamburg's Alsterpavillon for the architectural elements.
Vendors display perfectly aligned vegetables and chili peppers sorted by color and intensity, following traditional Mozambican market presentation methods.
Located on Avenida 25 de Setembro, the market operates daily with over 150 stalls offering local products, from cashews to traditional masks.
The market entrance features a distinctive tower portal leading to arched niches that house fixed vendor spaces dating back to its 1903 inauguration.
