Red Market

The Red Market (zh-t|t=紅街市大樓; Portuguese: "Edifício do Mercado Vermelho" or "Mercado Almirante Lacerda") is a three-story wet market in Macau. It was erected in 1936 and derives its name from the red bricks used in construction. The market is located at the intersection of Avenida Almirante Lacerda and Avenida Horta e Costa on the Macau Peninsula and is one of the most popular markets in Macau.
