Abelardo L. Rodriguez Market, Public market in Historic Center, Mexico City, Mexico

The market spans 12,450 square meters across multiple sections, featuring various food stalls, produce vendors, and artisanal crafts throughout its interior spaces.

Built in 1934 as a model for modern marketplaces, this structure incorporates Art Deco elements and contains 1,450 square meters of murals painted by Diego Rivera's students.

The market's murals depict social themes including workers' conditions, mining activities, and racial discrimination, reflecting Mexican society during the 1930s.

Four main entrances provide access to different sections of the market, with the Teatro del Pueblo auditorium located on the upper floor for community events.

The extensive mural collection ranks fourth in importance among Mexico City's public art installations, despite receiving fewer visitors than other cultural sites.
