Sarria, Municipality in Galicia, Spain
Located at an elevation of 700 meters in Lugo Province, Sarria extends along the western shore of Rio Sarria near the Cantabrian mountain range.
King Alfonso IX established Vilanova de Sarria in the 13th century and met his end in this location during his pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in 1230.
The 13th-century church O Salvador and the remaining tower of the medieval fortress stand as central landmarks in the Rua Maior district.
Sarria marks the final 114 kilometers to Santiago de Compostela, making it a frequent starting point for pilgrims seeking to complete the minimum distance for certification.
The municipality maintains its position as the antique capital of Galicia, hosting three monthly fairs that display traditional regional products near the medieval tower.
