Valletta Market, Victorian market hall in Valletta, Malta.
Valletta Market is a three-story building with a cast iron structure and glass panels that allow natural light into the interior shopping spaces. The market contains numerous stalls and cellars where food and goods are sold today.
The building was constructed in 1861 and served for many years as the city's primary trading center. It sustained damage during World War II but was later restored.
The market takes its name from a former execution site and continues to shape daily life in the old city, where locals and visitors browse together through the aisles discovering local goods.
The site is open daily and easily accessible to all visitors, with wide aisles running between the stalls. You will find various food options and can explore the shopping activities at your own pace.
The building drew inspiration from European market halls like those in London and Paris, yet incorporates local materials and construction methods from Maltese tradition. This blend makes it an interesting example of Victorian architecture with Mediterranean character.
