Oporto - Campo dos Mártires da Pátria

North and west of the Clérigos church is the broad Campo dos Mártires da Pátria. A part of it is taken up by the Praça de Lisboa, with its market stalls, while another part holds the beautiful Jardim de Joao Chagas (Jardim da Cordoaria). On the south side stands the old prison (18th C.), and at the northwest corner the Hospital de Santo António (begun 1769). On the north side of the Campo is the University (founded in 1911; previously a technical college), which also has a small Natural History Museum.
