Old Market Hall

After the conciliation in 1867 Budapest had started to grow rapidly. At the turn of the century Budapest had one and a half million inhabitants. Budapest became a metropolis by the numerous infrastuctural developments. The dirty, musty, chaotic markets on the streets could’t supply the people, so Budapest started to built up a regulated market hall system. The main Market Hall had been started to built in 1894 by the plans of Samu Petz, and on 30th June 1896, ten days before the handout, there was a fire and 50-60 percent of the roof was perished. The recovery took 9 months. The opening ceremony was on 15th March 1897. The hall was closed in 1991, because it became life threatening. The renovation was finished in 1994. Opening hours: Monday: 06.00 – 17.00 Tuesday – Friday: 06.00 – 18.00 Saturday: 06.00 – 14.00 Sunday: closed.
