Architectural glory
At the foot of the steep beginning of Calle Calvario, there's another wonder of architecture: the Municipal Market and its paths and gardens. It forms a picturesque complex of four pavilions in the form of a cross. It's the best example of modernist architecture that still remains. The construction took place from 1899 to 1903 under the direction of the architect Luís Ferreres. In the central part, there's a stone fountain that's home to ducks and turtles and is a popular stop for children.
The market and the surrounding area is also home to a regional marketplace that was ordered by Royal Decree in 1320 to occur every Friday, although it currently happens every Thursday. They also hold concerts and orchestras in the Market Auditorium and various other cultural activities.
