Ciudadela Market, Traditional craft market in Centro Histórico, Mexico City.

The market houses 350 vendors across a 1.6-hectare space, offering textiles, ceramics, silver jewelry, and handicrafts from twenty-two Mexican states.

The market opened before the 1968 Summer Olympics near a former tobacco factory that served as a military citadel during the Mexican War of Independence.

Artisans from different regions display their regional specialties, including Oaxacan textiles, Chiapas ceramics, and Guerrero silver craftsmanship.

Located at Balderas 130 in Cuauhtemoc district, the market operates daily and accepts primarily cash payments for traditional Mexican crafts.

The market features skeleton dioramas depicting everyday situations, from office work to dancing, representing Mexican folk art traditions.
