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.

About Triacastela

This small town, founded in the 9th century, has about 700 inhabitants and provides a good selection of restaurants, bars, hostels, and hotels for pilgrims along the French Way route of the Camino de Santiago. During the busiest times of the year, there are more pilgrims than residents in Triacastela.
