Known formarkethistoricfoodantiques
A covered iron-and-glass market built in 1897 that functions as both a working neighborhood food market and a hub for antiques, street food, and local crafts. The interior stalls sell everything from fresh produce to vintage records and handmade leather goods. Go on a weekday morning to see it as a real market rather than a tourist spectacle; weekends bring street performers and crowds outside. The empanadas and choripán from the food stalls are legitimately excellent.
