The Pilgrim Monument in Triacastela is a significant place on the French Camino de Santiago. It is located near the public hostel and consists of a large stone monolith with a red sword cross and a smaller statue of a pilgrim carved in wood. This monument commemorates the medieval tradition that pilgrims carried a lime stone from Triacastela to Arzúa to make lime for the Cathedral of Santiago. I hope this information is useful to you! 😊
