The Mercado Adolpho Lisboa, also called Mercado Municipal or Mercadão (big market), is a marketplace located in Manaus, Brazil. It lies on the shore of the Rio Negro. The market was constructed between 1880 and 1883. The building was based on the Les Halles marketplace of Paris, France. The building's metallic structures were built in Paris and sent to Manaus by ship. It has two completely different facades, one facing the Rio Negro and the other facing the public road. An important historical and architectural building of the city, the Municipal Market also stands out today as a cultural and tourist center. The market is one of the largest open markets in the city of Manaus, offering fresh fruits, spices, fish, souvenirs, traditional indigenous medications and among other products.[1] The building was interdicted in 2006 for restoration works and was delivered after seven years on October 23, 2013.
