This guide to La Concepció Market in Barcelona starts with a Gothic church that was dismantled stone by stone from the old city and rebuilt on this spot in 1871, after engineer Ildefons Cerdà's new Eixample grid opened up the land. It follows the city's 1884 purchase of the site from lawyer Joan Pla i Moreau and architect Antoni Rovira i Trias's 1888 cast-iron market hall, built in the same daring style as Crystal Palace and the great iron halls of Paris. Listen for what locals actually call this market, and why.
