Advantages: Hustle, bustle, colour, bargains Disadvantages: Variable quality, not so good for souvenirs
...What, would you say, is that curious-looking building depicted in the photo at the top of this page?
Of course, quick as a flash, you are likely to reply “Riga Central Market”, having cunningly read the caption beside it. And you’d be part right. No more than part right because it is only one of five almost identical buildings that house just the indoor section of the market, with – in the summer at least – another area of similar size for stalls outside. And only part right because they weren’t built as market halls at all, but as hangars for First World War zeppelins. This is among the original features that enhance the character of what would in any case be one of Europe’s largest and liveliest public markets.

...Castle Market is the largest of Sheffield's Markets and houses a large collection of Shops and Stalls selling a wide range of different Goods.
This large indoor Market is built on the site of Sheffield Castle and there are many ruins and tunnels beneath this Market which are opened up to the Public on special occasions, usually only once or twice a year. These tunnels link the former Sheffield Castle ,built in 1266 but largely demolished in 1648 during the English Civil War, with the Manor Castle and other important historic Buildings within the City.
