Galvany Market

Construction of Galvany Market began in 1868 on land donated by Josep Castelló i Galvany, the Earl of Galvany, following the annexation of the Sant Gervasi neighbourhood to the city. The market opened in 1927, and its design blends Modernisme with iron construction typical of the period. The floor plan follows a Greek cross shape, with exposed brick facades at each end and a metal framework supporting a large central dome. Eight columns and broad arches carry the dome, and a Modernista lamp fitted with a clock hangs at the centre of the hall.

You'll find the staples of a well-stocked food market here: fresh fruit and vegetables, fish and seafood, meat and poultry, cheese and dairy, bread, and prepared foods. The range is solid for a market of this size. Head to the fish stalls first thing in the morning for the best selection, or check the prepared food section if you want something ready to eat. The market accepts cash, contactless, and mobile payments.

The market is at Carrer de Santaló, 65 in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi. The nearest metro stations are Muntaner on Line 3 (green) and Hospital Clínic on Line 5 (blue), both a short walk away. Several bus lines serve Carrer de Santaló directly. See all municipal markets in Barcelona for other covered food halls across the city.
