A little of Atarazanas Market History
The actual market was built between 1976-1979 and it was inspired on Les Halles Market in Paris, France.
The marble door is the oldest element of the market, which belongs to the old muslim construction.
Long time ago, it was the door to the sea and it was sorrounded by the fortress wall. The name of the market "Atarazanas" means shipyards, because it used to be a place where ships were repaired during the 13th century (remember the Muslim Period in Malaga was between 7th-13th centuries, you can check this part of the history if you click here). During this time, Muslims built The Alcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle, and the city grew from the castle to the sea.
