A place that stores more than flavors. Keep knowledge from people who built a little piece of the history of Montes Claros. This little piece appeared on September 2, 1899, in front of Praça Dr. Carlos, where Shopping Popular now operates. Afterwards, it moved to Rua Joaquim Costa, where several commercial establishments now operate. And, currently, the municipal market of Montes Claros, which was named Mercado Central Christo Raeff, is located at Avenida Deputado Esteves Rodrigues, 1460, central region of the city. Opened in December 1992, the central market is one of the most visited tourist spots in the North of Minas and has around 289 stalls, including bars, restaurants, craft stores and grocery stores, as well as stalls selling seasonings, vegetables, butchers, fishmongers and Popular Pharmacy. There are 633 traders, including box operators and producers who resell their products to be sold on the market.
