The Mercado de Salamanca is a municipal market in the El Molinillo neighborhood of Málaga, Spain. Built between 1922 and 1925 and designed by architect Daniel Rubio Sánchez, the building is a notable example of neo-mudéjar architecture.
The structure features a single nave with a metal frame and a roof made of fiber cement. It is characterized by its symmetrical facades, which feature exotic-inspired decorations including horseshoe arches formed by brick bands in various arrangements and modernist railings. The interior is decorated with tiles.
The market's design is recognized for its creativity and the quality of its ornamental elements, particularly the iron and ceramic work. It has also appeared as a setting in the 1966 film Lost Command.
