More of a crossroads than a square, this place hosted the market for farming tools, trinkets, and pots for centuries, a tradition that eventually gave this corner its name. Santo Domingo Street, known for its lively commercial activity, ends here, and the streets of ‘Os Viños’, the quintessential tapas area of Ourense, begin.

Almost triangular in shape, it is centered by a beautiful fountain that once decorated the courtyard of the San Esteban de Ribas de Sil monastery (now a national parador) before the Disentailment.

The square is bordered on the west by arcades and 15th-century buildings, and opposite stands the magnificent palace built at the beginning of the 16th century by Don Juan Fernández de Boan y Landecho, whose coat of arms adorns the facade. .
