Highlights: Vibrant stained glass windows throw dancing colors on the polished marble floors, creating a feast for the eyes that matches the culinary delights. Locals engage in friendly bartering here, preserving age-old shopping traditions that echo through the high vaulted ceilings.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes as flooring can be slippery near seafood stalls.

- Check out the stained glass window for unique photo ops, especially with morning sunlight filtering through.
