Mercato del Carmine, Former church and market hall in Lucca, Italy
The Mercato del Carmine occupies a large Renaissance structure with high ceilings, glass windows, and a bell tower converted into a clock tower.
The building originated as the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine, housing Carmelite friars until 1866 when religious orders were disbanded in the area.
The market building maintains regular food vendors while functioning as a community center for concerts, art exhibitions, and local gatherings.
Located in central Lucca, the market opens daily from 7:00 to 13:00 and 16:00 to 19:30, except Wednesdays in winter and Saturdays in summer.
During the 1932 renovation from church to market, workers discovered previously unknown frescoes beneath layers of old paint and plaster.
