El Parián, Historical marketplace in historic center, Puebla City, Mexico.

El Parián encompasses 112 permanent stalls within traditional brick buildings decorated with Talavera tiles along stone-paved streets in downtown Puebla.

The marketplace, established in 1760, gained importance as a trading hub for caravans carrying goods between Veracruz, Oaxaca, and Mexico City until 1801.

Local artisans sell handcrafted items including Talavera pottery from Puebla, silver pieces from Amozoc, and traditional paper products from Pahuatlán.

The market operates daily in the southeastern section of the historic center, near galleries and art studios of Barrio del Artista.

After its 1961 renovation, El Parián transformed from a basic flea market into the largest traditional handicraft center in Puebla.
