Marché Couvert Saint-Cyprien

The Marché Couvert Saint-Cyprien sits on the left bank of the Garonne River, identifiable as the only covered market hall in Toulouse that remains in its original nineteenth-century state. Opened on July first, eighteen ninety-two, the building was created to centralize food sales that previously took place on open-air public squares. City leadership had spent years navigating construction delays and architectural changes before the structure finally rose to meet the needs of this historic working-class neighborhood.
