Hall aux grains (Caraman)

Hall aux grains in Caraman

The Halle aux grains (German grain hall ) in Caraman , a French commune in the Haute-Garonne department in the Occitanie region , was originally built in 1612 and modified in the 19th century.

In Caraman markets from 1004 to 1010 are attested in writing. The market hall on the Place de la République replaced a building from the 14th century.

A large round arch serves as the entrance on the street-side gable facade. On each of the long sides, seven round arches provide daylight. The gable roof is covered with tiles.
