Mercado Abelardo Rodriguez in Mexico City

Mexico 2025 - CDMX - Mercado Abelardo Rodriguez Mercado Abelardo Rodríguez opened in 1934 as part of Mexico City’s post-revolutionary market modernization, designed by architect Antonio Muñoz García. Its Art Deco facade and murals by students of Diego Rivera—depicting laborers, farmers, and industrial scenes—reflect the era’s socialist ideals. Originally a public market, it now houses government offices while preserving its frescoes and structural details. The building’s history ties to Lázaro Cárdenas’ urban reforms, blending functionalism with political symbolism. #mercado #art #murals #streetfood #spice #travel #voyage #chill #tourism #walking #mexico #cdmx #market #food #mexique
