Oviedo, ya desde el S.XIII contaba con un mercado para la venta de frutas, pescado, verdura y carnes. La ciudad, tras un importante incendio sufrido en la Navidades de 1521, quedó sumergida en una importante crisis, de la cual el Emperador Carlos V, intentó que saliera con la creación, dos años más tarde, de un mercado, que se celebrara todos los jueves y que le diera más vida a la ciudad. Para su ubicación se escogió la zona de El Fontán, que estaba ocupada por una laguna desecada. La propia plaza de abastos realiza toda su actividad comercial en un hermoso edificio, antiguo colegio de San Matías, que está contiguo a la iglesia de San Isidoro, incluido en la lista de edificios protegidos por el Ayuntamiento de Oviedo. Es un mercado tradicional, en el que podemos encontrar de todo, e incluso comer en un restaurante que hay en la planta superior.
Oviedo, from the thirteenth century had a market selling fruit, fish, vegetables and meats. The city, after a major fire suffered in the Christmas of 1521, was plunged into a major crisis, of which the Emperor Charles V, tried to come out with creation, two years later, a market which is held every Thursday and to give him more life to the city. Location for the El Fontan, which was occupied by a dried lake was chosen. Food market itself does all its business in a beautiful building, Matthias old school, which is next to the church of San Isidoro, included in the list of protected by the City of Oviedo buildings. It is a traditional market where we can find everything, and even eat in a restaurant there on the top floor.
