The Sant Pere Market, formerly called Pere San, is a modernist building. It was designed by Ferran Cels in 1911 in the Plaça Major, now called Plaça de Sant Pere. With clear influences from Puig i Cadafalch, the building presents architectural and functional elements typical of modernism, such as exposed brickwork, trapezoidal windows, pilasters and the use of iron.
This is all that remains of the cooperative wine press, begun in 1921 to the design of Cesar Martinell, an architect who specialised in agricultural building at that time, inspired both by Gaudi's art nouveau design and the rationalism of the beginning of the 20th century. The wine industry declined after the 1950s and the last pressing was completed in 1988. The surrounding buildings were demolished, including, in 1994, the hall for vats, to allow for the expansion of urban building. In the remaining hall, exhibitions are shown and can be visited on certain days, particularly weekends
