Triacastela is a municipality in the province of Lugo, Galicia, Spain. It gets its name from the three castles that once stood here, none of which exist today.

It is along the route of the Camino de Santiago (The Way of St. James), and many of the pilgrims stop in the town's albergues and restaurants.
