The exterior walls of the old vegetable market were retained, and the neoclassical skin and the roof of the modernist were in stark contrast to emphasize the old existence. Made of 10,000 glazed ceramics, a total of 67 different colors of wavy roofs help the Santa Catalina market form a deep memory of Barcelona for tourists. This new roof, made of steel, concrete, wood and ceramics, is propped up by tree-like columns that appear to grow out of the soil, partially racked on the reserved old house racks, floating above the stately original skin, making it the building's biggest feature, in high-profile language, People who have been visiting Barcelona's main church have proclaimed their existence. The colours of the roof come from the fruit and vegetables on the stalls, which are like a rich sea and symbolize the warm Barcelona. The designer envisions the market as a basket full of fruits and vegetables, so the windows that are added are like wooden boxes for goods, people shuttle inside the basket to complete daily social and shopping. The market is also part of the transformation plan for the whole region, bringing visitors and opportunities to activate a whole street in front of the main church. The market is not just a city card, but also solves the city problem in the region to some extent. The market was fully renovated, reducing the number of stalls, and after the scale of the vegetable market was estimated, the original square plot was cut out and the elderly apartment was built. The apartment and the vegetable market were sandwiched into a square and became a lively community activity venue. Areas for waste collection, storage and cargo handling and additional parking areas were built underground, allowing the previously dirty and crowded shipping areas on the back of the vegetable market to be released.
Every time I go to a new place, I love to visit the local vegetable market. Look at the raw chicken live duck, fresh water melon vegetables, red peppers, hot and crowded, people feel a kind of life fun. I am at the Santa Catalina market in Barcelona
The Santa Catalina market is also a very famous market in Barcelona. The market decoration is particularly beautiful and it feels like a big shopping mall. There are many authentic Spanish cuisine here, and the taste is very good.
Overall it is not bad, I recommend everyone to see
All kinds of vegetables in the market 🥬 Fruits have everything, the price is cheap
Living in the Gothic District, on the way to Barcelona bus terminal, I accidentally found it. I saw that people came and went very lively. I couldn't miss it when I passed by. I went in and saw it! Santa Catalina Market (Mercat de Santa Caterina) is a well-known local seafood market. The seafood variety is very fresh. There are also famous Spanish hams, various fruits and vegetables. It is loved by locals. Like locals, look at the street view and order different kinds of seafood Tapas and beer. Good taste, and cheap, very cost-effective...
Although not as famous as the Poguelia market, the Santa Catalina market is more worth visiting. It is the most artistic market in Spain and its roof is called the wonderful delicacy under the sun waves. But it’s really not easy to shoot the full roof unless you have a drone or a friend who lives nearby and has a high-rise apartment. It doesn’t affect my love of it, though. Some nights, many shops in the market are closed, but the owners are very aware. It is recommended to go in the afternoon, there will be more shops, and the flow of people will not be very dense, and you can savor the fun of shopping.
