Former Fish Market, Trapani

The Former Fish Market in Trapani, Sicily, is a historic open-market pavilion built in the late 19th century, serving as the city's main fish market until the late 20th century. Located along the northern waterfront, it features a semi-elliptical design by architect Giambattista Talotti, with a covered portico and a central fountain topped by a statue of Venus Anadyomene. After its closure as a commercial market, the pavilion was repurposed for cultural events and now stands as a vibrant public space in Trapani's historic center, linking the area's maritime heritage to contemporary civic life.
