Emergency crews told RTVC television the fire started in the early morning in what is known as the old customs market where hundreds of vendors normally work. The market was closed Sunday and there were no reports of deaths.
Firefighters put out the flames and the cause of the fire was still not known.
It's the third fire to rip through the old customs market in less than a decade. It was previously burned down in April 2010, and again in December 2012.
Sunday's fire comes less than a week after fire destroyed a large part of Port-au-Prince's emblematic Mercado de Hierro market.
