==History and etymology== Iria Flavia was an ancient Celtic settlement, the capital of the Capori tribe. It was located at the confluence of the rivers Sar and Ulla, and on the crossroads to Braga (Portugal) and Astorga (León). It became Iria Flavia under Titus Flavius Vespasianus. During the middle ages, it was the Episcopal See until Alfonso II of Asturias moved it to Compostela after the finding of Saint James the Great's sepulchre. In modern days, the town is the last stop on The Portuguese Way route of the Camino de Santiago.
