The El Born Market (Mercat del Born) is a former market located in the El Born region in Barcelona. The market opened in 1878 and closed in 1971. In 2002, the market was about to be remolded into a library when midevil ruins were discovered from the La Ribiera district that was destroyed during the Spanish War of Succession. The museum now covers the ruins and the former market is also used as a cultural site.
