Mercat de Colón (3) - a photo on Flickriver

Europe, Spain, Valencia, Pla del Remei, Mercat de Colón, Interior (cut ftom L,R & B)

I said that I would show you more of the charm of Valencia's vintage modernism and the Mercat de Colón.
So posted here is the grand interior space of the market. As said earlier, it's a striking example of 'Modernismo Valenciano' architecture, a local 'art nouveau' branch.

The market was designed by Francisco Mora Berenguer in 1916. Mora Berenguer's work was not considered modernist at the time - modernism was a pejorative term then, used to qualify the architects who were heavily influenced by Brussels or Viennese architects using 'banal shapes or decorations'. It was just seen as something arising from traditional architecture, adapted to the needs of its time with the contest of new materials. In a sense this had a certain logic, the structure has a high/neo-Gothic lineage with its peaked vaulting.

Well, the early times of modernism were confusing - in Holland, the neo-Gothic architect Pierre Cuypers (the designer of Amsterdam Central Station) considered himself to be a true modernist ;-)

The building was gentrified (into a mall / food court) in 2003. From the nineties onwards It had grown considerably dilapidated and many vendors had chosen to stop trading at the market because of that. Luckily the larger Mercat Central was well maintained and not gentrified.

This is number 31 of the Valencia! album and 48 of Valencia & Andalucia.
