Plaza de San Ildefonso (Madrid) Coordenadas: Con el objeto de reubicar en la plaza a buena parte de los vendedores ambulantes que se encontraban en las inmediaciones del bario, se instaló el mercado de San Ildefonso en el periodo que va desde 1835 hasta que en 1970 fue desmantelado, ocupó gran parte de la superficie de la plaza.
Fue obra del arquitecto español Lucio Olavieta,[1] y es considerado como uno de los primeros mercados cubiertos de Madrid. El Mercado fue derribado finalmente en los años setenta para dejar paso a un jardín arbolado. Durante el periodo de estancia del mercado en la plaza se puede decir que fue una de las más concurridas y populares de la ciudad. En él se podían encontrar a la venta: verduras, legumbres, frutas, carnes y pescados.
