A municipal marketplace in La Línea de la Concepción with heritage status

The Mercado Municipal de Abastos La Concepción is a municipal marketplace situated in La Línea de la Concepción, in the province of Cádiz, Spain. Located on Calle Isabel La Católica, the building is officially known as the Mercado de Abastos de La Línea de la Concepción.

The building was planned in 1878 and constructed in 1882 by the provincial architect Adolfo del Castillo Escribano. Escribano was a member of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando and is also the author of the Plaza de toros de La Línea de la Concepción and the disappeared municipal slaughterhouse.

In 2007, the market was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural. It remains a significant historical structure in the city, reflecting the modern period of architectural planning in the region.
