The Great Market Hall or Central Market Hall (Hungarian "Nagycsarnok"), on Fovám Tér in the 9th district, is the largest indoor market in Budapest. It was designed and built by Gustave Eiffel.

A great number of stalls offer a huge variety of vegetables, fruit, cheese and meat. The roof has been restored to the distinctive Zsolnay tiling.

Most of the stalls on the ground floor offer popular souvenirs such as paprika, tokaji, and caviar.

This is the largest of five market halls which opened in Budapest at the end of the 19th century. It was built in the 1890s, lovingly restored in 1994, and is still a focal point for city life. It has rightly become one of the most popular and visited shopping sites for tourists.

History:
The construction of the building began in 1894, but due to a fire disaster a few days prior to opening, it was opened to the public only on February 15, 1897. At the same time, 4 other modern market buildings were opened in the city (Hold street, Rakoczi square, Klauzál square and Hunyadi square). The total cost of construction was 1 900 000 HUF, almost as much as the cost of the other 4 markets of the district altogether.
