Mercat de Santa Caterina

Mercat de Santa Caterina is a municipal food market on Avinguda de Francesc Cambó in Barcelona's Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera neighborhood. Built in 1846 on the site of the former convent of Santa Caterina, it is one of the city's oldest markets. It was rebuilt to a design by the architects Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue and reopened in May 2005 under an undulating roof covered in colored ceramic tiles; remains of the church and convent found during the works can be seen on site. It sells fresh produce, fish, meat and groceries and is closed on Sundays.
