Plaza de la Concepción & Old Market
Plaza de la Concepción y Antiguo Mercado
A riverside central square with a colonial-era market building. The arcaded old market now houses craft stalls and snack vendors.
Plaza de la Concepción lies in front of the Church of the Immaculate Conception. On its river side stands the colonial-era old market (Mercado), an elongated arcaded building that once served as a cargo hub on the Magdalena River. Part of it has been turned into craft stalls and small eateries, while farmers still sell fruit and vegetables nearby in the early morning. The square is Mompox’s social hub, surrounded by cold-drink shops and snack stalls where you can try local cheeses and sweets. Free to visit.
