Lugar de Villavella SN, Triacastela, Spain, 27632

Triacastela gets its name from the three castles that once stood here. Norman (Viking) invaders in 968 A.D. pillaged the area, eventually being defeated at the Cebreiro pass and driven off. They probably destroyed all three castles during that time.
