The original city cemetery for Catholic burials starting in 1808. It was located west of the center of town. Today, the Santa Rosa Hospital stands on the former site of Campo Santo.

In the 1920s marked burials were said to have been moved during a 24 hour period to cemeteries west and south of town, most likely going to San Fernando #1. Sadly, it appears that did not happen. While Santa Rosa hospital grew, renovation projects revealed human remains within the hospital campus. Archeologists from UTSA and CAR were brought in to study the area.

Memorial plaques for those buried at Campo Santo can be found across W Houston street on the east side of Milam Park.
