La Victoria Market, Historic market in downtown Puebla City, Mexico.

La Victoria Market is a wrought-iron market hall in the historic centre of Puebla, built on a 17,600-square-metre site. Its free plan has two main 10-metre-wide aisles crossed by side passages, with stalls three metres wide and three metres high. The interior was divided into separate sections for fruit, vegetables, fish, meat, bread and tamales, linked by the central aisles.

The market was inaugurated on May 5, 1913, after its original construction in 1854 on land formerly part of the Santo Domingo Temple orchard, serving as a major food supply center for Puebla residents for over a century.

Between 1954 and 1986, the market served as the main wholesale center in Puebla where vendors sold fresh produce, flowers, and the city's signature cemita sandwiches made with beef trotter, cheese, avocado, and pickled peppers on special bread.

The building occupies 17,600 m² on the site of the former Santo Domingo convent orchard, entered from the streets around the old market square. Inside, two central passages 10 m wide cross the free plan, and the stalls were set 3 m wide by 3 m high to keep the aisles open and ventilated. It now works as a commercial plaza, so expect shops rather than produce stalls.

The market is considered the birthplace of the cemita compuesta: vendors there sold suela bread topped with sesame seeds, which travelers filled with avocado, white cheese, beef trotter, pickled chilies and papalo. Prepared cemitas with beef trotter were first sold on the spot, followed by milanesa and other fillings.
