“A building with one central aisle and two identical entrance porticos that are of particular interest. The side façades are formed by double lines of vendor stalls open both to the inside and to the outside. More or less centred in the lateral walls there are secondary entrance portals. The interior is decorated with tiled images of poultry, fish and fruit. Almost all the decorative elements of the building are concentrated around the main entrance porticos, which are topped by a triangular pediment framed with various different layouts of masonry and ceramics. In terms of style the Salamanca Market is Neo-Moorish with strong exotic oriental traces, reminiscent of the Arab souks.” (Salamanca Market, Diputación de Málaga)
