Tricca or Trikka (Ancient Greek: Τρίκκη or Τρίκκα) was a city and polis (city-state)[1] of ancient Thessaly in the district Histiaeotis, standing upon the left bank of the Peneius, and near a small stream called Lethaeus.[2] This city is said to have derived its name from Tricca, a daughter of Peneius.[3] The modern city of Trikala extends over the ancient site.[4]
