Central Market and temporary market

The Central Market opened on 21 December 1949 beside Castellón’s monumental heart. Its history links trading in the old squares with a city supplied by market gardens and the Mediterranean. Rather than seeking one extraordinary product, consider that combination: seasonal vegetables, fish and family businesses explain everyday cooking in La Plana. Status checked on 17 October 2026: the historic building is undergoing renovation. The council announced the temporary Santa Clara market’s opening on 12 February and was still reporting construction work in September. This stop therefore explains the exterior; it does not promise entry to the historic stalls. For active food shopping, head to the nearby temporary building and check its current hours. The relocation also shows how a living market differs from a static architectural monument.
