Santa Catalina Market
Palma's oldest municipal market, open Monday to Saturday from 7am to 3pm in the Santa Catalina neighbourhood. Pick up fresh fish, local produce and prepared foods at 35 stalls.
Santa Catalina Market (Mercat de Santa Catalina) is the oldest municipal market in Palma, with roots going back to 1905. The indoor market sits at Plaça de la Navegació in the Santa Catalina neighbourhood, traditionally a fishermen's quarter that has since become one of the city's most characterful areas for food. It's open Monday to Saturday from 7am to 3pm with 35 stalls.
History and architecture
The current market building dates from 1920, making it one of Palma's most enduring food halls. The Santa Catalina neighbourhood takes its name from Mallorca's patron saint, and the market has been at its heart ever since. Long a working-class fishing quarter, the area has evolved into a thriving food and cultural district while the market has kept its local feel.
What to buy
Fish and seafood are the stars here, reflecting the neighbourhood's fishing heritage. You'll find fresh catches alongside fruit and vegetables, meat and poultry, charcuterie, flowers, and a good selection of wines and spirits. The market's food court has prepared food options including tapas counters where you can grab a bite as you shop. It's worth coming on a Saturday morning when the market is at its liveliest and the selection is at its best.
