San Telmo Market

If you want to visit the Feria de San Telmo you should know that it takes place only on Sundays. Its heart is the Antiques Fair that, for 35 years, has been a meeting point of locals and tourists. The location is Plaza Dorrego, between Defensa and Humberto 1 ° streets, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The market was opened in 1897 to supply the new wave of immigrants arriving from the Old Continent with the necessary supplies. The building, declared a National Historical Heritage in 2000, retains its original internal structure with beams, arches and metal columns with sheet metal and glass ceilings, and has a large dome in the center, a project by Juan Antonio Buschiazzo. This market is a place where past and present come together to offer a unique experience with antiques, crafts, records or old toys, restaurants, bakeries, butchers, fishmongers, greengrocers and thousands of curiosities for visitors. At the exit of the market, a walk along Plaza Dorrego, which is only 100 meters away, is a traditional visit for tourists and locals.
