Palas de Rei guide
Palas de Rei is a small town in the province of Lugo, Galicia, with a rich history dating back to the Roman period. Its name is believed to be derived from the Latin "Pallatium Regis," meaning "Palace of the King." This name is thought to be linked to the Visigothic King Witiza, who ruled from 702 to 710 and had a palace in the area. During the Middle Ages, Palas de Rei gained importance as a stop on the Camino de Santiago, providing services and shelter to pilgrims. The town's Church of San Tirso, which dates back to the 12th century, is a notable example of Romanesque architecture and a key landmark for pilgrims. Additionally, the nearby Pambre Castle, built in the 14th century, is a well-preserved fortress that provides a glimpse into the region's medieval past. Today, Palas de Rei continues to serve as a significant stop for pilgrims, offering a range of accommodations, restaurants, and services to cater to their needs.
