Mercado de Colon

It is an imposing metal building of three aisles, the work of Francisco Mora, built in the early twentieth century. It is a good example of the European markets of the time and the modernist movement which arrived in Valencia belatedly. The renovation of this building was constructed in three phases, culminating a few years ago, it was very expensive but worth it.

It now houses florists, bookstores, coffee shops, etc... It's a nice place in downtown Valencia where you can go to hang out, drink coffee and buy a book; you can also admire a beautiful example of Valencian modernism.

Built between 1914 and 1916 by architect Francisco Mora Berenguer, this lovely market of three isles with a clear Art Nouveau style was completely restored in 2003 and converted into a centre of shopping facilities related to gastronomy. The site was declared a National Monument, and it is a delight to wander around and buy delicacies.
