Mercado do Bolhão is located in the heart of the city of Porto. The market is housed in a two-tier covered building and there are four main entrances that take you to the different levels. In this market-place you can buy everything, from fresh fruit to household goods.  
In 1839 the Oporto City Council planned to concentrate all the citys markets into one location. The current building was opened in 1914.
Close to the mercado is Capela das Almas located, an 18th century chapel. Capela das Almas has been decorated all over its exterior walls with lovely blue and white azulejos by painter and ceramist Eduardo Leite in the early 20th century.
The panels depict "The Death of St. Francis of Assisi," "The Saint in the presence of Pope Honorious III," and "The Martyrdom of St. Catherine."
