Santa Caterina Market (Ciutat Vella district).

The current market was built in 1848 on an old convent by the Catalan architects Josep Boixareu i Gallart (1804-1871) and Francesc Vallès i Cuchí (1797-1879), dating from 1848. It was remodeled in 1864 by another architect, Miquel Garriga i Roca (1808-1888). But the final remodeling, which is what is seen in the image, is due to the FMBT Architecture Studio, formed by Enric Miralles (1955-2000) and Benedetta Tagliabue (b. 1963). It was inaugurated on May 10, 2005. It is characterized, above all, by the curved shapes of the roof, covered with 4,200 square meters of ceramic mosaic in the colors of fruits and vegetables (see second photo).
