Vintage, handmade crafts, and vinyl every weekend in 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.
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.
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.
The Trastevere district, with its cobblestone alleys and bohemian soul, is the perfect backdrop for a market dedicated to beauty and authenticity. Its location on Via Cardinale Merry del Val, just a short walk from the historic Porta Portese market, makes Merkat* a natural stop for anyone looking to spend a Roman weekend discovering second-hand treasures, vintage finds, and quality craftsmanship in the city of Rome.
In 2026, Merkat* confirms its regular appointment at the Alcazar Live in Trastevere, open every Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. The format combines a curated selection of vintage and crafts with the vibrancy of the venue: live DJ music, themed workshops, and the option to stop for a brunch or an aperitivo. A different way to experience a Roman weekend, between hunting for unique pieces and enjoying social time.
