Building and heritage
This former market building is an important contributor to the architectural heritage of the city. Originally built in the 1740s, this building is reputed to be the work of Italian architect Allesandro Callileo. The building was subsequently remodelled one hundred years later, and reopened in 1843 as a corporation bazaar. The quality of the masonry is a notable feature in the streetscape and was clearly executed by skilled stone cutters and masons. The carved plaques add artistic interest to this important former public building.
