Description:
The restoration included increasing the functional capacity of the site by creating a new underground level. Saved were the market's oak pillars, their stone bases and the splendid stone pavement of one meter long slabs. After the underground phase, the wooden structure was reassembled with a technically improved reconstruction of the original roof, left exposed to show the beauty of the wooden elements. Mercato del Este is again an authentic civic centre in the heart of Santander.
