A vintage market in the heart of Trastevere

Merkat* is the reuse and craft market that brings the Alcazar Live to life every weekend. Located in a historic former cinema in the Trastevere district of Rome (Lazio), the market transforms the Alcazar's halls every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. It has become a go-to destination for lovers of vintage, quality second-hand goods, and handmade creations in one of the Capital's most charming and vibrant neighborhoods.

What to find at the stalls

The selection at Merkat* ranges from retro clothing to original accessories, from collectible vinyl to handmade creations by small artisans and independent brands. Every piece has a story to tell: upcycled second-hand garments, vintage design objects, jewelry, and handmade accessories, all proudly Made in Italy. It is the ideal spot for those seeking the unique style that only vintage and craftsmanship can offer, far from the logic of mass retail.

  • Vintage clothing and accessories carefully curated
  • Handmade crafts and creations from independent brands
  • Vinyl records and vintage design objects for collectors
  • Made in Italy products and one-of-a-kind pieces

Much more than just a market

Merkat* is about more than just shopping: the atmosphere is enhanced by DJ sets, workshops, and themed aperitivi, making your visit a well-rounded experience. Thanks to Alcazar Live's dedication to music, art, and fine food, you can combine your hunt for the perfect item with a brunch or an aperitivo, turning your weekend into a moment of social connection and culture.
