3 The market was established in the 1950's with a number of other similar institutions in order to help regulate retail commerce in the city and what makes this market both unique and famous, is all the aisles of vendors dedicated to herbal medicines and items related to witchcraft, magic and/or the occult - interesting to say the least, but a heap of fun to explore none the less.

5 At the recommendation of our guide, it was not recommended to take any kind of photos inside the market as apparently the vendors get a bit stroppy over such activities, hence only taking photo from the outside.
