About this experience

Artisan Markets in Terra Murata is a recurring open-air market held within the medieval citadel of Procida, Italy. The market showcases local crafts, handmade ceramics, and traditional food products against the backdrop of Terra Murata's historic walls. It operates on select weekends from spring through autumn, offering a direct encounter with Procida's artisan community.

What to expect

Browse stalls from 10:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays and Sundays, with each market day featuring 20 to 30 local artisans.
Watch live demonstrations of ceramic painting and coral jewellery making, two crafts native to Procida.
Taste and purchase regional specialties such as limoncello, olive oil, and 'lingua di Procida' biscuits, all produced on the island.
Visit the market within the courtyard of the Palazzo D'Avalos, a 16th-century palace, with entry included in the market visit.
Suitable for families and independent travellers; the market is walkable from the Terra Murata car park, but expect cobblestone paths and stairs.
Each market day concludes with a 17:30 guided tour of the nearby Abbey of San Michele, offered at no extra cost to market visitors.
