2022 - Guanajuato, Mexico - 58
Interior of Guanajuato's Hidalgo Market seen from its second floor. The market is also known as "Gavira", the name of the old Plaza de Toros de Gavira razed to build the market.
Hidalgo is the main market of the city.
The market is a chaotic collection of market stalls selling a wide range of items plus a large selection of food vendors.
The building was initially designed as a railway station, by architects Ernesto Brunel and Antonio Rivas. The railway never arrived so it became the city market.
Construction was from 1905 to 16 September, 1910 and was inaugurated by President Porfirio Diaz as part of the celebrations of the centenary of Mexican independence.
The building is 70 metres long by 35 metres wide. Most of the building is made of iron and its floor plan is in the shape of a letter T.
