Central Market Hall in Ploiești

The Central Market Hall features a square main hall with 50-meter sides, covered by a large concrete and glass dome at ground level.

Construction occurred between 1930 and 1935 under architect Toma T. Socolescu, with King Carol II attending the official opening ceremony on November 1, 1935.

The building incorporates a central circular flower stand, peasant market section, and fish hall, reflecting traditional Romanian market organization patterns.

The multi-level structure includes storage spaces in the basement, ground floor vendors, and a balcony floor dedicated to cheese, cold cuts, and dairy products.

A square tower with a clock and terrace stands at the southeast corner, while red brick and concrete facades create the building's exterior design.
