Central Market (Psar Thmei)

61, Phnom Penh, Cambodia

Severely damaged by a fire in 2003, the large Central Market still bears the iconic yellow Art Deco dome of its original 1935 structure. In addition to being one of Phnom Penh’s major architectural sites, the Central Market is a bustling commercial center. Dazzling jewelry stands occupy the center (under the dome) and the four radiating “arms” are filled with stalls selling everything from T-shirts and electronics to flowers and fresh produce.
