"Praza do Campo, located in the heart of the historic center, is one of the most beautiful corners of the city of Lugo. This small triangular-shaped square is located near the cathedral and is possibly the oldest preserved square in the city. In the late Middle Ages it was its commercial center. Its current appearance is a product of the primitive medieval layout strongly impregnated by the baroque style dominant in the houses that delimit it and that were built by the richest merchants in the area during the second half of the 18th century. In the center of the square there is a fountain presided over by a statue dedicated to San Vicente Ferrer. This source received water to supply the city through an old aqueduct that has now disappeared. It was completed in 1754, during the time of Bishop Esquerdo, whose coat of arms is sculpted at the base of the statue. The baroque houses in the square support their stone facades on arches that form the arcades. In the lower part of the square, some medieval houses supported by columns are preserved, some of which are of Roman origin and were reused by the builders. Rúa Nova converges in this square, also of medieval origin, which was the most populous street in the city until it began to grow outside the walls. This area is popularly known as "wine street". In the square we can also find the Centro de Interpretación da Muralla, as well as several terraces where we can relax with a drink.
