Interesting modernist building

It is an imposing metal building of three aisles, the work of Francisco Mora, built in the early twentieth century. It is a good example of the European markets of the time and the modernist movement which arrived in Valencia belatedly. The renovation of this building was constructed in three phases, culminating a few years ago, it was very expensive but worth it.

It now houses florists, bookstores, coffee shops, etc... It's a nice place in downtown Valencia where you can go to hang out, drink coffee and buy a book; you can also admire a beautiful example of Valencian modernism.

A delight

Built between 1914 and 1916 by architect Francisco Mora Berenguer, this lovely market of three isles with a clear Art Nouveau style was completely restored in 2003 and converted into a centre of shopping facilities related to gastronomy. The site was declared a National Monument, and it is a delight to wander around and buy delicacies.

Le Mercado de Colon est un ancien marché situé en plein centre de la ville de Valence, en Espagne. Son édifice a été conçu par l'architecte Francisco Mora Berenguer entre 1914 et 1916. C'est un exemple clair de l'architecture moderniste du début de siècle. Il a été déclaré monument national. Il impressionne par sa façade extraordinaire et les décors somptueux.

Si vous aimez le style de Gaudi, il faut absolument que vous alliez au marché de Colon ! Le marché de Colon se trouve juste derrière la rue Colon. Il a été créé au début du XXème siècle par Francisco Mora et Berenguer. C’est un édifice moderniste qui rappelle beaucoup le travail de Gaudi. La façade du bâtiment est colorée et asymétrique alors que le toit est totalement métallisé. C'est un mélange d'Art Nouveau et de design. Ce mélange de style rend ce bâtiment unique. A l’intérieur du marché de Colon, vous pourrez trouver des restaurants et des fleuristes au rez-de-chaussée et des commerces typiquement espagnols au sous-sol.

Que mejor lugar para escuchar un concierto de Jazz gratis y en directo que el Mercado de Colon de Valencia. He estado tranquilamente tomandome un café en una de sus multiples cafeterias mientras escuchaba la música, aunque también se han habilitado sillas frente a los musicos, para que además de oírlo perfectamente puedas verlo desde primera línea!! Que buena idea, me ha encantado!
What better place to listen to a free jazz concert and live the Colon Market in Valencia. I've been quietly sipping coffee in one of the many cafes while listening to music, but they have also enabled chairs facing the musicians, to hear perfectly well you can see it from the front row! What a great idea, I loved it!

Jewel of Art Nouveau

Symbol of Valencia Modernsta

Símbolo de la Valencia Modernísta

Este es uno de los edificios más bonitos del Eixample valenciano. Hasta hace unos años funcionaba todavía como mercado de alimentos frescos, más tarde se hizo una importantísima restauración y ahora luce espectacular. En el interior que está solo cubierto por arriba hay cafeterías y restaurantes, muy recomendable el Alto de Colón que dirige el chef Quique Barela. Si viajáis en Fallas, navidad y creo que en julio y noviembre , se celebra en su interior la Mostra Artesanía; una Feria de diseñadores independientes y artesanos donde podréis encontrar objetos muy diferentes a otras tiendas , hechos a mano y respetuosos con el entorno, ideal si queréis llevar regalos.
This is one of the most beautiful buildings of the Eixample Valencia. Until a few years ago still work as fresh food market, later became an important restoration and now looks great. Inside that is only covered by cafes and restaurants up there, highly recommended Columbus High directed by chef Quique Barela. If you are traveling in Fallas, and I think Christmas in July and November, is celebrated inside the Mostra Crafts, a fair independent designers and artisans where you can find different objects to other stores, handmade and environmentally friendly, ideal if you want to bring gifts.

Colon,

Colon,

Excellent
Struttura del 1900, ricorda molto Gaudí.. Non è tanto visitato, anche se merita, visto la particolare bellezza della struttura. È in una zona poi tanto tranquilla, nelle vicinanze ci sono molti piccoli bar, negozi interessanti. Arrivare è facile, la stazione metro (Colon) è a pochi passi, altrimenti più avanti c'è Alameda, Giardini di Turia, così si possono fare due passi anche in mezzo al verde..
Structure of 1900, reminds Gaudí .. It is not visited, even if he deserves, given the particular beauty of the structure. It is in an area so very quiet, nearby there are many small bars, interesting shops. Getting here is easy, the metro station (Colon) is a few steps further is otherwise Alameda, Turia Gardens, so you can take a walk in the woods ..

En diciembre se ponen los adornos de Navidad y el árbol que quedan muy bonito. Recomiendo el Daniel’s donde se comen fartons, tonets con orchata que resulta muy rica. Es muy típico y siempre hay bastante gente y’a que es un buen sitio donde quedar.
