The principal square of Caminha is attractive and full of interest. The lovely Chafariz do Terreiro (Fountain of the Square) was built by João Lopes O Velho in 1517 and stands in front of the 17th century Paços do Concelho (Town Hall) with its eight arch façade. Inside there is a fine carved, coffered, chestnut ceiling. Notice also the Casa dos Pitas, a 15th century mansion with seven Manueline windows on the upper storey and battlements on the side wall.
