Mercado Municipal de Santa Maria da Feira

The market building features colorful mosaics and traditional design elements that integrate with the surrounding urban environment and local architecture styles.

Architects Fernando Tavora and Alvaro Siza designed this market in 1959, marking a shift from conventional modern architecture toward incorporating local values.

The marketplace functions as a central hub where residents gather to purchase fresh produce, meats, cheeses, and regional specialties from local farmers.

Located in the district of Travanca, the market provides ample parking spaces and maintains regular operating hours throughout the week for shopping convenience.

The structure earned recognition as a Monument of Public Interest due to its architectural significance in the evolution of Portuguese modernist design.
