The Central Market of Valencia is modernist in style, and it is one of the most beloved buildings by Valencians and also one of the most visited places by tourists.
Monumental and beautiful, the Central Market of Valencia is, without a doubt, one of the must-see places. In addition, it is perfect to buy products, mostly local, of high quality. It has 1,200 positions and, in total, almost 400 people work there.
More than a century has passed since its construction began. Its dome and stained glass windows give it an incomparable atmosphere and a very characteristic light. A whole explosion of color, smells and traditional tastes.
