Es:"La Lonja Municipal de Artesanía El Postigo es un emblemático edificio situado en el centro de la capital hispalense, junto al arco del postigo del Aceite, una de las puertas más importantes de la ciudad y a escasos metros de la Catedral y la Giralda. Acoge el singular Mercado de Artesanía El Postigo. El mercado ofrece una amplia variedad de obras (20 talleres artesanos), que abarcan desde bisutería y joyería hasta complementos de moda hechos en cuero, textil, de seda, de flores, de papel, madera… pasando por la decoración con cerámica tradicional, mosaicos, esmalte, grabados…
El espacio se dispone a modo de galería de arte, de forma que el visitante se recrea la vista a medida que va paseando y, paralelamente, contempla el trabajo artesanal que se realiza en la antigua Híspalis. Esto se combina con una serie de creaciones contemporáneas, que ponen de manifiesto la dualidad que convive en este mercado: artesanía tradicional y diseños de vanguardia."
