Central market of Chișinău, Historic marketplace in central Chișinău, Moldova.
The Central Market spans 3.5 hectares across two city blocks between Armeneasca and Tighina Streets, offering an extensive selection of local products.
Founded in 1825 as the New Bazaar, the market transformed from wooden structures to stone buildings following municipal reforms in 1886.
Vendors sell traditional Moldovan products including handmade sheepskin hats, woven baskets, local cheeses, and regional agricultural goods.
The market operates daily with multiple sections for fresh produce, meat, dairy products, clothing, and household items across indoor and outdoor spaces.
Soviet troops destroyed the entire market complex in 1941 to prevent resources from falling into enemy hands, leading to its complete reconstruction.
