On site, you'll find an impressive 28-meter-high octagonal dome in the center. This magnificent market was the first to be erected <strong>outside the old part of town.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Today, it includes an open-air clothing market, a covered food market with 52 food stalls and a collectors' market held outdoors every Sunday. It's the city's largest market and the only one to operate seven days a week. During the latest renovation works in 2018, the surrounding area was made pedestrian-friendly, making this place <strong>an excellent alternative to the more crowded La Boqueria.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc132852312\"><\/a><strong>Barcelona's covered market: the Concepcio market<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A stone's throw from the buildings <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/la-pedrera-barcelona\/\">la Pedrera<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/casa-batllo-barcelona\/\">Casa Batllo<\/a> from <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/gaudi-barcelona\/\">Gaudi<\/a>La Concepcio market, built in 1888, is named after the neighboring neo-Gothic church. Its impressive iron structure and large bay windows were inspired by London's Crystal Palace and the <strong>the airy elegance of Les Halles market in Paris.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since one of the entrances to the market has two large open-air flower stalls, open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, it is popularly known as a \"flower market\". <strong>the name of March\u00e9 aux fleurs.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc132852313\"><\/a><strong>March\u00e9 du Ninot<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Praised locally for its varied selection of food stalls, this market was built in 1933 and was originally called Avenir, after a nearby tavern that sold the cheapest wine in town. Its name was later changed to <strong>became Ninot (which means \"doll\" in Catalan)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that the tavern owner's daughter went to the beach one day and found a wooden doll, which had been the figurehead on the bow of a ship. She brought it home and placed it at the entrance to the tavern, forever changing the name of the bar and market.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the figurehead that gave the market its popular name can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/maritime-museum-barcelona\/\">Maritime Museum<\/a>.
