Tampere Market Hall

Tampere Market Hall (Finnish: Tampereen kauppahalli; Swedish: Tammerfors saluhall) is one of the significant market places in Tampere, Finland. It is located in the center of city, between Hämeenkatu and Hallituskatu, and it was opened in 1901.[1] It was decided to build the market in Tampere as a result of a large and unregulated market.[2] It is the largest market hall in the Nordic countries.
