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