    Triacastela was a modest stopover on the early Camino built around a 9th century monastery. The shape of the village follows the pilgrimage road. On the lower Rua Mayor is an interesting St. James' church with a Romanesque choir extension from the 11th century. At the end of the village is a memorial for pilgrims. The name of the village is said to refer to three castles.
    Leaving Triacastela, pilgrims took a stone from the neighboring quarry and carried it to the lime kilns in Arzua, helping to build the cathedral in Santiago

    Here in Triacastela you have to decide which of the two directions to Sarria you want to take.

    The name Triacastela comes because there used to be three castles of which there are unfortunately no remains.
