"Another 20th century structure is the Mercado Hidalgo, the town's primary marketplace, crammed full of stalls selling toys, crafts, clothing and housewares as well as fresh meats, cheeses, vegetables and fruits. Alejandro told me that the building was designed by the Eiffel civil engineering firm to be a French train station but was purchased by the Mexican government and erected in Guanajuato in 1910."
