The Mercado da Ribeira is a market hall on Avenida 24 de Julho in the Portuguese capital, Lisbon , where fresh fish, vegetables and fruit have been sold since the 19th century. It can be reached by all Carris public transport via the Lisbon Cais do Sodré train station .
history
The hall was built from 1876 according to plans by the engineer Frederico Ressano Garcia on the northern bank of the Tejo in the immediate vicinity of the Cais do Sodré and opened on January 1, 1882. Ressano Garcia used elements of iron architecture in the design . A fire on June 7, 1893 destroyed parts of the east side of the market. The hall was expanded from 1902 under the architect João Piloto .
From the beginning of the 1990s, the first floor of the building was converted into a cultural center at the instigation of the city administration. Various musical events have taken place there since then.
After a gradual decline, the city launched a tender in 2010 to find a new operator to revitalize the market. The Lisbon lifestyle magazine Time Out Lisboa was awarded the contract. In 2014, the west wing of the market hall was completely redesigned: 35 food stalls around the central interior with wooden benches and tables offer fast food , nouvelle cuisine and traditional Portuguese cuisine, the focus is primarily on regional products. After the very successful concept, Time Out will now operate eight additional international markets in Europe and the USA in 2019 . In addition to the new catering area, the east hall will continue to be used as a classic market hall with market stalls for fruit, vegetables, meat and fish.
