Market Ferreira Borges was planned to replace the old, very old, market of Ribeira, by the bank of Douro river.
It was designed by João Carlos Machado, using plenty of iron, as it was current in those days.
The market is not active as such anymore, hosting now cultural events. It's next to Stock Exchange Palace and to São Francisco Church on the way to Ribeira quarter. It was built by Aliança Company (Massarelos Casting). It was classified as a National Trust Building.
It's the historical marker #49 of Porto.
