Ortigia market in an old quarter of Siracusa (fish, food, vegetables, ), Syracuse, Sicily, Italy, Europe, EU.
The food market in Ortigia is a small, relaxed market with a sense of humour as vendors compete for customers by calling out their wares. Via Benedictus comes to life every morning except Sunday. August 15, 1899 was the last day local farmer's were allowed to use the area between West Genese Street from Salina to Clinton Streets as a public produce market. Commissioner of Public Works Meagher saw to it that those "having produce to sell" were kept away from Clinton Square. The old Hay Market on North Salina Street near the Erie Canal lift bridge had been approved as a public market after a delegation of local businessmen, members of the North Side Business Men's Association visited Mayor McGuire and appealed to the Common Council asking for a produce market on the Northside. The Common Council passed a resolution in June 1899 directing those having hay to sell "vacate the plot of land enclosed by the fence." The result was loads of hay were lined up along Pearl Street and Fulton Street, however, the old market was ready for farmers. By 1900, the Northside Produce Market supplied fresh fruit and vegetables from farmers in Cicero and North Syracuse to local residents.
