Stabroek Market, Market hall in Georgetown, Guyana.

Constructed in 1880, the cast-iron building features a prominent clock tower and spans across 80,000 square feet of commercial space.

The market location dates back to 1792 during Dutch rule, when enslaved Africans gathered on Sundays to sell their agricultural products.

The market stalls display local textiles, fresh produce, spices, and crafts, representing the diverse heritage of Guyanese merchants and shoppers.

The market operates daily from 7 am to 5 pm, serving as a central transportation hub for taxis, minibuses, and ferries along the Demerara River.

The steel framework, weighing 635 tons, was manufactured by the Edge Moor Iron Company of Delaware and assembled on site in Georgetown.
