O seu nome completo é Campo de San Francisco e é dedicado a S. Francisco de Assis, antes de se transformar no parque que vemos hoje estava um bosque pertencia a um mosteiro franciscano.
Passámos por ele por acaso com a intenção de conhecer o centro da cidade e só mais tarde percebi a sua relevância na história de Oviedo.

No século XVI torna-se um espaço para utilização pública sofrendo várias alterações ao longo do tempo. Hoje podemos ver alguns vestigios da construção románica em Oviedo como o Arco de San Francisco (sobre o qual não encontrei muito informação), lagos, fontes, animais como o pavão real, patos e cisnes, além de várias estátuas espalhadas por varios pontos do parque como por exemplo a de S. Francisco de Assis.
Ao chegar ao final da nossa passagem pelo parque encontrámos ainda um mercado de artesenato da região.
In the sixteenth century becomes a space for public use suffering several changes over time. Today we can see some traces of the Romanesque building in Oviedo as the Arc of San Francisco (about which I have not found much information), ponds, fountains, animals like the peacock, ducks and swans, and several statues scattered throughout various points in the park such as the one of S. Francis of Assisi.
When we reach the end of our passage through the park we found a regional crafts market.
