The three castros of Triacastela

Curiosity · Triacastela, Sarria, Lugo

Image of Triacastela, not of the place itself.

The place name comes from the Latin tria castella, three castles, and local tradition connects it with three fortified settlements: the castro of Triacastela itself and those of Tras do Castro and Lagares, now barely visible among the meadows.
