Known for its always fresh fish stalls, Livramento Market was considered, in 2015, by USA Today as one of the best fish markets in the world. Besides fish, in the market - or square, as it is known among the people of Setubalenses, there are also vegetables, aromatic herbs and regional products such as wine, honey, various bread qualities and local crafts.

 

Every day the market is sought by tourists, who come not only for the products, but also to photograph the nineteenth century tile panel, with more than five thousand pieces, which depicts scenes from everyday life. The first building of the Livramento Market was inaugurated in 1876 and was replaced by another building in 1930.

 



 

 

The publication highlights that Setúbal is “an area with a great fishing tradition and underlines that, in that market, the star is sardines. They even recall that Portugal consumes 13 sardines per second in June, the month of the popular festivities of St. Anthony, St. John and St. Peter.

The decoration of Livramento, the only prominent Portuguese market, has not escaped USA Today either. They refer to the walls, covered by the so-called tiles, which depict scenes from daily life, such as fishing or agriculture. In the award winning market are 5700 pieces of tiles.
