The Ninot market is a municipal market on the left side of the Eixample in the city of Barcelona. It was designed by Antoni de Falguera and Joaquim Vilaseca and inaugurated in 1894. It is a work included in the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage of Catalonia.
It is an isolated building on a rectangular plot, with the main façade on Carrer Mallorca, and accesses to Carrer Casanova and Carrer Villarroel, as well as the rear passage that separates the plot from the rest of the island of houses. of houses, in addition to the market, it only has a residential building, an empty plot from the demolition of a fire station that is currently located in the Parc Joan Miró in the same city and a small plot of land enabled as small garden.
The floor plan of the Mercat del Ninot building is organized in a T-shape, giving rise to two side courtyards facing Carrer Mallorca. The structure is made of metal made up of three bodies, the two sides subdivided into three gabled roofs, with the central one at a higher level to allow ventilation. The whole is enclosed by a exposed brick wall up to about three meters high. Above there are shutters that allow ventilation and a last section under a powerful eaves closed by glass, which allows the lighting of the market.
The main access is to the central body facing Carrer Mallorca. Of monumental character and noucentista style, it has a stone plinth. Above two monumental pillars support an entablature with a pediment, adorned with the coat of arms of the city. Below, a large stepped arch gives way, backing a little from the façade line, to a monumental three-hole window that illuminates the interior of the market. The rest of the accesses respond to the same system, but at a less monumental level.
