The building of the Municipal Market was listed as a preserved monument by the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, in 1980. It has a cruciform plan, and it reminds one of the “Cast-iron architecture” buildings of the late 19th century. The architecture is typical of the Industrial Revolution era and its designs were modeled after the market in Marseille.
