Mercado de Abastos - Alcaudete

Mercado de Abastos
The covered market is the oldest market in the province of Jaén and one of the best examples of twentieth-century regional architecture. In front of this building was the original door of the Almohad wall from the twelfth century, now disappeared under the street and the surrounding buildings. Its plan simulates a leaf shape with a slight oval appearance in the main area, narrowing until it reaches the rear entrance. It is made up of a single floor and was built according to the main façade with the common construction system in industrial architecture of the time by which the stone was combined with the solid brick factory on a masonry load-bearing wall. This façade shows its access to the outside through a semicircular arch and brick fretwork in the shape of a serpentine. Registered in the General Catalogue of Protected Buildings on December 19, 2007.
