History

Lope de Vega was baptized in the former church. Architect Juan de Villanueva recommended its demolition in 1804 because of its condition. The covered market replaced a poorly maintained open-air fish market. Architect Alfonso Dubé y Díez drew inspiration from European iron markets such as Les Halles in Paris.

  1. By 1202The parish of San Miguel de los Octoes was documented in Madrid’s charter.
  2. 1790A fire devastated the church and surrounding area.
  3. 28 November 1809José I Bonaparte ordered the church demolished; the site later became a public square and food market.
  4. 1913–1916The covered market was built in two phases so trading could continue.
  5. 13 May 1916The covered market opened.
