TipThe 1957 building on Via Cocco Ortu closed for reconstruction in March 2025, so the market you want is the Piazza Nazzari hall, shut on Sunday.
Mercato di Santa Chiara is the oldest civic market in Cagliari, 300 square metres above Piazza Yenne on the site of a convent bombed during the war.

TipRenovation turned part of the hall into a food court, so the stalls now run from breakfast into the evening above Piazza Yenne.
