Mercat Santa Caterina
El mercat Santa Caterina, St Catherine’s market. In the Old Town, it has been a market since 1848, and was Barcelona’s first covered market. Totally renovated in 2005 with brilliance by the architects Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue, is a little marvel located in the district of Ribera. Beautiful architectural idea for this multicoloured ceramics roof having the shape of wave posed on an air structure of wood, which shelters all the stalls of the market.
The last time I was there, ready, my camera on hand, they had just closed. I’ll be back, to show you the inside!
This is for My World Tuesday. Please click here to see many more photo of my co-blogger’s world.

Wow, it's beautiful and so unusual.
Hope you are feeling OK and not over-doing it.
Rob, you're right, the shekel is at a dismal exchange rate, the worst in several years. In August it was up to 3.81 and now it hovers around 3.60. The Bank of Israel can buy hundreds of millions of dollars a day and it doesn't help much.

Everytime I go past this market, it seems to be closed. I can't wait to get inside one day!
