The Markale (also Gradska tržnica Markale, more rarely Tržna hala) is a market hall from the Austro-Hungarian period in Sarajevo in Bosnia and Herzegovina. On March 29, 2008, the building was declared a national monument.

After the severe fire in the Sarajevo district west of the Baščaršija bazaar district in 1879, there were larger open spaces that could be redeveloped. In line with the historical Bezistan of the Baščaršija (Gazi-Husrev-Beg-Bezistan, Brusa Bezistan), a market hall was also built on today's main boulevard, which is called Ferhadija after the old Mahala, in the district which, in contrast, is characterized by Central European history. To the north, this building now borders Mula Mustafe Bašeskije Street, to the east is Gajev trg. After a horse-drawn tram station was built at Trg oslobođenja, just south-east of the current building in 1884, trade at the square soared, so efforts were made to concentrate it in one building. In particular, this should be available to the meat and vegetable traders on the surrounding streets of Franje Josip (today Zelenih beretki), Ferhadija, Ćemaluša, as well as Baščaršija streets Predimaret (today Gazi Husrev-begova) and Kujundžiluk, which made the chosen location even more attractive.

The project was done in 1894. under the name "Market Hall for Sarajevo", and the building was completed a year later. The designer of the market building was August Butsch, and it was built in a neo-renaissance style. There used to be side entrances to the market building, and when they were closed, the current two entrances were breached, the facade of which was built with three arches modeled on the old architecture. In the interior, the steel and wood lattice construction of the vault and the cellar refrigerator represent a modern image of the interior. In the hall there is an Art Nouveau clock that still exists today.
