About the Place
As a predecessor to the nation’s initial contemporary markets, it boasts a concentric layout that harmonizes with the surrounding urban design and architecture. Innovation was intertwined with functional, infrastructural, constructive, and spatial considerations, some of which had been overlooked due to shifts in food consumption. The most significant innovation was the exploration of reinforced concrete’s potential in large-scale structures, such as the standardized porticos with adjustable ceilings that facilitate expansive, luminous, and fluid spaces and broader spans. The original design was modified with the closure of the slaughterhouse on the subterranean level and the alteration of the central courtyard. Currently, it is one of the most vibrant centers in one of Lisbon’s most cosmopolitan districts.
