Santa Caterina Market
Josep Buxareu i Gallart, Josep Mas i Vila
The Santa Caterina market’s site is the result of the superimposition of numerous historical strata dating from the Bronze Age, with a necropolis of which there are still some remains. The first market was built in the 19th century on the ruins of a monastic structure, and the last intervention aims to mend the structural and organisational deficits of the old market. The project is based on the overlap between the old and the new, from a conception of action that seeks to establish a continuity with this series of historical overlaps. The number of stops is reduced and power lines are created inside, creating new connections between the surrounding streets. The new roof overlaps the old perimeter factory and recovers its image from neighbouring houses, while being based on a structural principle of stable fragility.1844 - 1848

Born Market
Josep Maria Cornet i Mas, Josep Fontserè i Mestre
El Born Market is a key part of the urbanisation plan that gave rise to Ciutadella Park when it was demolished in the mid-19th century. A series of long and narrow islands are arranged parallel to the direction of the park and deliver it against the Ribera district. The heart of the intervention is a public square flanked by Mercat del Born (Barcelona's wholesale market). The original market was conceived as a covered square with a very light roof, the work of Josep Maria Cornet i Mas. This roof has the shape of a cross inscribed on the perimeter of the market, formed by asymmetrical gabled arms with skylights on the ridge, raised in relation to other groups of identical roofs. There is an octagonal dome with a lantern in the cross. The enclosures of the market are opaque up to half height and remain covered (as are the jumps between roofs) by a metal blind, almost a mesh, which introduces a nuanced, almost religious light. The market was abandoned in 1971 and survives abandoned during the Olympic Games. When, finally, it was intended to house the Provincial Library of Barcelona, its architects, Enric Sòria and Rafael de Cáceres, found the remains of the old neighbourhood of La Ribera in an optimal state of conservation. Currently, the building is still under construction to house part of the Museum of the History of the City which will deal with the preservation of these ruins under the structure of the archaeologically restored market. The new intervention has perimeter platforms that will allow a view of the ruins while keeping the space of the roundabout intact. The museum programme will be housed in cubicles arranged in the square. The entire intervention will be public and will restore the character of a square that Mediterranean markets have.1873 - 1876

Sant Antoni Market
Josep Maria Cornet i Mas, Antoni Rovira i Trias
The Sant Antoni market is located outside the gate of the wall that bore its name, on a spontaneous market that exists outside the walls and adjacent to what used to be the Madrid road (now Mistral Avenue). Rovira i Trias, who lost the competition for the Eixample district in Barcelona, takes over Ildefons Cerdà’s winning proposal by arranging, in the middle of the whole square that the market occupies, a dome in the form of a covered square, designed in collaboration with Josep M. Cornet i Mas and with analogous dimensions to those of a junction of the Eixample. Four symmetrical pavilions face the chamfers, as arranging them turned ninety degrees from the direction of the streets (i.e., diagonally) allows them to reach the maximum inscribable length on a square. The perimeter of the square is closed and the spaces between the fence and the façades of the market are treated as yards for unloading goods. Leaning on this perimeter fence, a perimeter canopy is set up where a well-known foreign market takes place. There you can find everything on Sunday mornings, and it is a sight to behold and a place to take in the city. The refurbishment has two underground floors under the archeologically restored market, with the refurbished stalls. Excavations for the site have uncovered remains of the bastion of the wall, which have been incorporated into the project. It demolishes the perimeter fence, preserving the canopy to open the old courtyards of goods and turn them into public squares. One of these depresses an entire floor to allow access to the remains of the bastion and becomes an access to a new commercial plinth. The refurbishment will show the whole of the perfectly restored old market and will value its side façades, which were initially closed, a service architecture that has been dignified over the years. The new architecture will strengthen the civic character and, at the same time, enhance the historical memory of the place.1872 - 1882

La Barceloneta Market
The market refurbishment is motivated by its outdated nature from a programmatic point of view. The new market incorporates a hospitality school, office space and some restaurants, in addition to two parking floors and the arrangement of two new spaces on the two main façades. The refurbishment chooses to place the new pieces of the program suspended from the roof, forming a series of variable sections and using the same profiles of the old structure. Thus, the life of the old market can continue regardless of the new additions. The accesses from both squares are also modified, in order to favour the recreational activities that take place there. The result of the intervention are bodies added to the periphery of the old structure, which allow a new image to be generated and reflect its added character to a space and activities that continue to exist as before.1884

Mercat de Tortosa
Sota la seva aparent elementalitat (nau única coberta amb teulada a doble vessant) s'amaga una obra d'execució atrevida i brillant, doncs s'ha de tenir en compte que s'assenta en terrenys guanyats al riu. En aquest sentit s'ha de destacar l'enginy de l'estructura que suporta la coberta, dissenyada per Joan Torras i Guardiola. També conegut com " l'Eiffel català ", Torras disposa 14 encavallades de ferro laminat i perfil parabòlic, que no provoquen empentes laterals. D'aquesta manera s'aconsegueix salvar una llum de 27 m mantenint l'espai interior diàfan. Tradicionalment s'ha atribuït l'autoria del Mercat a Joan Abril.1884 - 1887

Mercat El Rengle
Edifici civil. Construcció exempta de planta rectangular longitudinal, coberta per una teulada plana, al centre de la qual s'aixeca una volta de canó que ocupa tota la seva llargària. Consta d'un passadís central i una filera de parades de venda a cada costat; per la banda exterior també hi ha parades. Les parades estan separades per unes columnetes de ferro colat que suporten la teulada. El conjunt destaca especialment per la seva volta que també serveix de ventilació una vegada tancades les parades. Les façanes testeres i el sòcol de l'edifici estan revestits de marbre, i l'interior de l'edifici està decorat amb ceràmica vidrada amb rajoles que formen franges de colors que li donen vistositat. El mercat fou dissenyat per l'arquitecte mataroní Emili Cabanyes i va entrar en funcionament el 5 de juny de 1892. Un any més tard Josep Puig i Cadafalch va projectar i executar la reforma de la coberta, que li va conferir l'aspecte que conserva actual. El 1979 fou restaurat pels arquitectes Isidre Molsosa i Montserrat Torres. És un edifici molt característic de Mataró, que rep el nom popular de "el Tren" a causa de la seva forma allargada. Pel mateix motiu se'l coneix també popularment com "el Rengle" o "el tramvia".1892

Tarragona Central Market
El mercat central de Tarragona va ser construït originalment en una zona despoblada de l’eixample. Té una superfície de 2.400 metres quadrats i ocupa una sola planta. La nau central està coberta per una gran volta de fibrociment. Les cantonades i els centres de les façanes queden ressaltats per unes grans obertures que permeten l’entrada de llum natural a través d’unes grans persianes. L’estructura, que queda vista a l’interior, és de columnes de forja i cintres metàl·liques. Pujol de Barberà concep l’edifici aplicant-hi la inventiva pròpia dels nous corrents modernistes, si bé amb la contenció historicista pròpia de la seva condició de restaurador.1911 - 1915

Mercat Central de Sabadell
Mercat format per la planta semisoterrani, que allotja el magatzem, i la planta pis, amb el mercat, accessible per quatre punts situats als vèrtexs (un d'ells coronat per una cúpula). La coberta està formada per diferents plans inclinats que deixen entre ells les obertures que il·luminen l'interior. El mercat tenia un disseny acurat: el projecte contemplava els diferents tipus de parades segons la seva utilització (fruita, carn o peix) i la seva situació, així com els diferents elements que les configuraven (revestiments, llums, numeració, posacistells, etc.). L'interior ha sofert un progressiu procés de transformació, perdent-se el seu caràcter unitari original. L'obra es va iniciar el novembre de 1928 en l'anomenat "Pla de Sang". Aquest emplaçament era el previst pel Pla de Reforma i Eixample de J. Renom-Manich.1927 - 1930
