Lonely Planet review for Mercat de Santa Caterina

A 19th-century market, built on the site of a 15th-century monastery, made way in 2005 for this original, colourful version designed by the adventurous Catalan architect Enric Miralles. The outstanding element is the bright, ceramic-covered, wavy roof – a splash of pastel loopiness. Out the back, remnants of the monastery, known as the Espai Santa Caterina, uncovered during excavations, are on public show with explanatory panels. Heading towards the waterfront along Via Laietana, the market is off to the left on Avinguda de Francesc Cambó.
