Singapore : Lau Pa Sat Festival Market

Lau Pa Sat Festival Market Originally known as Telok Ayer Market, this distinctive octagonal-shaped structure was built in 1894 out of cast iron from Glasgow. It was designed by Municipal Engineer James MacRitchie, and served as the only market in the city then. In 1973, the market was declared a national monument and was completely reconstructed in 1990.

The historical structure was then leased to Scotts Holdings, which commercialised the area into a maze of souvenir stalls and food outlets.
