Matache Măcelaru Hall, Historic monument in Bucharest, Romania.

The building featured a nineteenth-century engineering architecture with riveted steel structure, large glass surfaces, and wooden enclosures, following European market hall designs.

The Bucharest Municipality constructed the hall between 1887 and 1899, with modifications including masonry walls and ironwork additions during 1940-1941.

The hall received its name from Loloescu Matache, a nineteenth-century butcher who attracted customers by cutting meat in front of the building.

Located at Piața Botescu Haralambie 1 in Sector 1, the structure remained the last nineteenth-century market hall in Bucharest until March 2013.

The hall underwent demolition in 2013 despite civil society protests and municipal promises for renovation and cultural integration.
