Mercado de Campo de Ourique, Lisbon

Mercado de Campo de Ourique is the food market you are looking at, serving the surrounding neighbourhood in Lisbon. Its story reaches back to 1934, when the market began welcoming shoppers. The building has since been remodelled in 1991 and again in 2013, with the later work credited to António Maria Braga.

António do Couto Martins is identified as its architect. Inside, the market brings together gourmet food stalls, so the visit combines the character of a local market with places to eat. That mix explains the market’s appeal: this is not simply a building to pass, but an active meeting point organized around food. The name is usually rendered in English as Campo de Ourique Market, while the Portuguese name remains the one displayed here.
