The Mercat de Canyelles (Canyelles Market), constructed in 1987, is the most recent of all the municipal markets of the city and counts with more than 3,000 square metres of surface.

Thus, the emphasis is made on its modernity, its large equipment and its important range of services. As well, one must note the interest that it gained, at the time of designing and construction of the market, in the architectural equilibrium and, therefore, esthetic, with the buildings surrounding it. Also it was intended, in the possible measurement, that the classic structure is conserved of the traditional market.

Perhaps the most peculiar characteristic of this three leveled market is the metallic structure and bare brick wall, both architectural elements typical of the hundred-year-old markets of the city that have been constructed throughout the XX Century with cement structures. It is also considerably characteristic of this market the abundance of light that enters in all the angles of the market.

Since its construction, the Canyelles Market has experiences various renovations, the majority of which have been maintenance.
