Attraction near L'Eixample, 1 of 6: Mercado de Colón

A 1916 modernista market hall by architect Francisco Mora: three naves under iron trusses, closed at each end by richly decorated brick-and-stone gateways. A restoration that won a Europa Nostra award in 2003 turned it into a food hall. Glass-cube cafes and horchata bars fill the main floor; below, an escalator leads to produce and meat stalls, a restaurant and a waterfall with trees rising through the opening.
