Mercat de l'Abaceria, on the Travessera de Gracia in the Gracia district, in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. The market opened in 1892, then known as Mercat de Santa Isabel, by Puigmarti, owner of the textile factory Fabrica Vapor Nou, in a drive to move outdoor markets indoors. In 2020, the roof was removed from the metal structure in order to dispose of asbestos, and the building is to be renovated. Gracia was an independent municipality 1626-1897 before being incorporated into the city of Barcelona. It is a vibrant district with wide boulevards and squares, with many boutiques and galleries.
