The Mercado de la Abundancia is a building in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo.

The former market hall, built between 1904 and 1909, is located at Calle Yaguarón 1312, corner of San José in the Barrio Centro. At the site of the market hall, whose construction was carried out by engineer Leopoldo Peluffo, a market was held outside the old city walls of the Ciudad Vieja from 1859 onwards. Montevideo's first market had existed in the old town since 1836. Later, the Mercado Central (1865) and the Mercado del Puerto (1868) were added. In 1976, the Mercado de la Abundancia was classified as a Monumento Histórico Nacional.[1] In the 1990s, renovation work was carried out on the building of the Mercado de la Abundancia. The Mercado de los Artesanos has been located here since 1996. Today it houses several restaurants and sells handicrafts. The market hall, designed as an iron structure with a dome above its iron entrance portal on Calle San José, is classified as eclectic
