DESCRIPTION
The Central Market of Cusco or Mercado de San Pedro was built in 1925 and is the oldest in the city. The construction was directed by Gustav Eiffel, the same who built the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
Originally located in the Plaza de San Francisco, it was moved to a new building located in the Plaza San Pedro, in front of the temple of the same name, south of the Plaza de Armas. With a single rectangular floor plan, this colonial-style building occupies a city block and bears the hallmark of Eiffel’s constructions: columns and metal roofing.
There are plenty of things to see since the very bizarre stuff to the colorful fruits and handicrafts. The “San Pedro Market” is a very picturesque place, often visited by national and foreign visitors, where you can find many alternatives to buy traditional souvenirs, as well as taste some typical food, good cheese stalls, accessories for traditional costumes, fabrics, stalls of healers and witchcraft, herbal tinctures, and ointments based on the tallow of certain animals.
