Triacastela

Triacastela is a place on the Camino de Santiago in the province of Lugo of the Autonomous Community of Galicia and capital of Municipalities of the same name.

The name refers to the three castles, of which no remains have survived. It was founded in the 9th century by the Count Gatón del Bierzo. Aimeric Picaud it mentioned in the book as well as Jacob Arnold von Harff and Domenico Laffi in their pilgrim reports.
