Old Market Hall, Early 20th century marketplace in District of Bratislava I, Slovakia
The Old Market Hall is an early 20th-century building in central Bratislava that serves as a gathering point for local commerce. The structure with its distinctive green facade houses various vendors and functions as a central shopping destination for the neighborhood.
The building was constructed in 1910 and became the first covered market in Bratislava. It replaced a medieval fortification that had occupied the site since the 15th century.
The marketplace reflects everyday local life as vendors and shoppers gather for their weekly exchanges. Handcrafted goods and fresh produce create a space where traditional ways of buying and selling continue to thrive.
The market is located in the city center and is easily accessible on foot, especially on Saturdays when vendors are present. Arriving early helps ensure you can browse the full selection of goods available.
Glass panels on the exterior of the building reveal preserved walls of the 11th-century St Jacob's Chapel beneath. These archaeological remnants show how different structures occupied this location across the centuries.
