This is a building full of history, if you look at the façade you will see that there are still remains of the bombing of 1939. During the Civil War there was an attack by Italian Fascists airmen that killed several people, but fortunately the market has managed to stand up to this day.
It is worth this visit even if to only admire the architecture of the building and meet the daily life of the people of Alicante.
