This market was inaugurated in 1880 as the first municipal market of the country, and since then it has been a place where you can view the traditional life of San José from a cultural and historical point of view. Here you will find the most varied natural products, fruits, medicinal herbs, vegetables and crafts, as well as home furnishing sellers, fish markets and butchers. This has been considered a historical landmark since 1995.
