I honestly love markets because they show so much of local culture - especially the people who are shopping! In my city the market is full of fish and veggies and cheap underwear and no-brand jeans, lol. Next to it now a 'market hall' has risen so the Hipsters can have a place to buy stuff as well - tomatoes cost three times the price of the outside 'original' market.

Exploring markets it´s definitely one of the best ways of getting to know local culture, because of what they sell but also because of the people selling them which are usually people born and living there.
Where do you live? That sounds very appealing for the non-traditional traveler, you made me curious!
I live in Rotterdam, The Netherlands! I've done the Googling of 'Markthal' for you :-) Absolutely amazing city to visit, especially if you want to understand more about The Netherlands than Amsterdam alone :-)
