The Old Nupe Market ((シンハラ語:නූපේ පැරණි වෙළඳ ගොඩනැගිල්ල)) or the Old Dutch Market is a historic, European-built structure in Matara, Sri Lanka. It is located about from Matara fort, at the junction of the Matara-Akuressa Highway (A24) and Matara Road (B535). ==Building== A number of websites claim the building was built by the Dutch in 1775 and is believed to be one of the few surviving Dutch buildings from that period. According however to a Dutch Cultural Heritage site (Cultural Heritage Connections) and the National Trust Sri Lanka it is an early British building (possibly constructed c.1784) and used to house the Nupe market. The open-sided market building was constructed in a 'T' shape,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Nupe Ancient Trade Center Building )〕 with the upper bars of the T running parallel with the road and providing the entrance. The pitched roof is tiled in red Sinhala Kandyan period clay tiles (peti-ulu) and supported by large white stone pillars. The supporting wooden frame of the roof is elaborate and edged with lavish latticework.〔 The building is high and comprises a by timber portico in the middle of the building with three small wooden spires above the main roof. One wing would have housed the vegetable market, the other wing meat and fish. The stem of the T was mostly likely to have been used for the sale of textiles and household items.〔
