The Mercat del Born (Born Market) opened in 1876, work of Josep Fontserè i Mestre, and is a good example of the iron architecture of great elaboration, typical of Catalan Modernism, common in the city in those times.

It operated till 1977 and in February 2002, while they achieved construction to install a Provincial Library of Barcelona, they discovered archeological artifacts of the medieval city, which made construction be delayed, but enriched the cultural value of the vicinity.

Currently it is found still in the works, foreseeing the opening of the new cultural centre and library for 2009.
