The market has a purpose built covered indoor area as well as an open area for stallholders to sell fresh and dried fruit, vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, spices and other goods. The market became known as the Dezerter Bazaar in the 1920’s because it was the place where deserting soldiers sold their weapons and equipment.
