Guided tour of Arcos de la Frontera

Abasto Market

Click to enlarge
Where you are standing now

The covered market at the bottom of Boticas Square (next to the convent) is sited on an unfinished church. It was being built for the Jesuits, but construction stopped in 1767 when Charles III, no longer willing to put up with the Jesuits' political antics, expelled the order from Spain. Before you move on, notice the pediments of Roman columns incorporated into the façade.
