4.7/5 (45)

The Central Market of Valencia is a public market located opposite the Lonja de la Seda (Silk Exchange) and the church of Santos Juanes, in the centre of the city. Inaugurated in 1928, it is one of the main works of Valencian modernism. The architects in charge of the project were Alejandro Soler March and Francisco Guardia Vial, and later Enrique Viedma and Ángel Romaní.

The building, which occupies a surface area of more than 8000 m2, stands out for its enormous metal structure, the domes, the stained-glass windows and the precious ceramic coverings. As if it were a real "cathedral of the senses", the explosion of colours, flavours and smells in this unique enclave attracts Valencians as well as national and international visitors.

Originally, its interior was designed to house more than 900 food stalls. Today, it has approximately 300 stalls selling a wide variety of products: fruit and vegetables, meat, fish and seafood, cold meats and cheese, salted and pickled meats and pickles, etc. There are also several souvenir shops and restaurants.

The Central Market is, without a doubt, an essential stop to get to know the architecture and gastronomy of Valencia. Come to the Plaça de la Ciutat de Bruges in the historic centre, from 7:00 to 15:00 (Monday to Saturday), and discover it for yourself.

“A really good tour around the old city finding little hidden gems. Then back to the private dining experience with lots of good wine and traditional Valencian food. Especially good for those with special dietary requirements the the chef will tailor make items to suit all palates.”
