MARCHÉ CENTRAL
Petit Futé's opinion on MARCHÉ CENTRAL

Called Phsar Thmey in Cambodia, this huge market is one of the city's most famous buildings. Built in the 1930 s, in yellow and white, very fashionable at the time, it is a magnificent example of Art Deco architecture in Cambodia. The plans were entrusted to the French architect Jean Desbois, who had to take into account the climatic constraints of the region, namely the sun and rain. Thus, the market consists of a dome 26 metres high and extended by 4 wings 19 metres high. Construction was completed in 1937 and was one of the largest markets in the world. It is currently in operation and has been the subject of a renovation plan between 2008 and 2010, funded by AFD (Agence Française de Développement).
