Hales market, a photo from Vilniaus, Sud

Photographer's Note

I like to photograph this market

Hales market. In the 15th century, the site of the current marketplace was initially named the Horse Market. Later, in the 16 th century, it became known as the Grain Market, when, after the city wall was built, it found itself in the suburbs. In 1906, at the intersection of Pylimo and Bazilijonų Streets, a new market was erected, designed by Vilnius architect and engineer Vaclovas Michnevičius with help from local entrepreneur Petras Vileišis. For a long time, the building now known as Halės Market continued to be called the Grain Market, and only in 1914 did the name Halės Market take over. This is the oldest marketplace still operating in Vilnius.

Located in the Old town, the Marketplace has always been popular among the townspeople and its guests for its locally grown and very fresh produce as well as for the home manufactured goods.

In 2006 the reconstruction of the hundred year old central building was completed and since then Hales market has become an 8,400 square meter indoor marketplace where a great variety of fresh and smoked meat, fish, diary products, organic fruit and vegetables, honey, home manufactured and industrial goods are offered under one roof.

Everyone will find something interesting and delicious, because Halės Market is the place to taste and buy authentic local products.

Hi Piotr,

The light on the building is bringing out the colors. The point of view is showing the details of the architecture of the builsing. The sharpness is very good. Have a nice day.

Hi Piotr,

The sunlit facade of the market building contrasts well with the shadowed fg street. Good sharpness, colour, saturation and framing from an angled pov. Tfs!

Elegant facade and imposing view of the market building, Piotr.
The afternoon shadows were just precisely at its pavement, good timing about that.
Have a nice new day,
Ike

Hi dear Piotr

Yes I also like to photograph a market everywhere.
I like both of inside and outside. The appearance seems to be a centarl station, a museum or a governmental office. So tasty architecture shot. The shade in front plays so important role.

All the best and have a good day! Takero

Bonjour, cher Piotr,
Voilà un bâtiment qui a connu des vicissitudes au cours des siècles.
Le marché garde toujours une place importante pour les clients, le choix est grand, les produits sont présentés avec soin et fraîcheur.
Un lieu de rencontres sympathiques.
Amitiés.
Philippe

cześc Piotrze, jakoś nie pamiętam tej hali. czy nie wydaje Ci sie, że wygląda całkiem jak Hala Mirowska w Warszawie? Ten sam styl, Nasza hala jest wcześnieksza, zbudowana w latach 1899-1901. Ciekawe.

Pozdrawiam MAłgorzata

Hello Piotr,
Beautifully sunlit while the foreground remains in the shade.
This emphasizes the market building even more.
It really is a huge building.
Best regards, Paul

Hello Piotr,
I remember this market which was not far from my hotel. It's a nice building so it's great that it has been restored and kept alive for its original purpose. You took this photo at a moment of very good light. I like the inclusion of two persons at the top of the stairs.
Regards,
Gert

Hello Piotr,
I really like the architecture of this market hall. The warm colours of the façade add a nice contrast with the blue sky and the lighting was excellent too and brought out the details very nicely.

Piotr, an imposant building existing for centuries houses a market where one can buy authentic local products. Instructive text about its history. Good framing, excellent light.
