No; Galatia is not mentioned by name in Revelation, nor are any of the "seven churches" addressed in chapters two and three located in the region.
The exact number of churches that the Apostle Paul started is not known, but he is associated with founding several churches in the Mediterranean region, including churches in Corinth, Ephesus, Philippi, and Thessalonica. These churches were established during his missionary journeys to spread the teachings of Christianity.
The Bible interprets the "seven candlesticks" for us: "...the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are THE SEVEN CHURCHES." (Rev.1:20) Revelation chapters 2 and 3, then, contain "letters" to these seven churches from Christ, in which each receives a warning from Him... and encouragement to persevere. Much controversy exists as to whether these letters were solely for those ancient church establishments... which would render them old and outdated today... or if there might be something more to them than meets the eye. Some think them to be descriptions of "church eras," which speak to the different churches' "spiritual conditions, strengths and weaknesses" down through the centuries since Christ's ascension. Still others believe they might be addressing the stages of "spiritual development" of a child of God and the struggles the child must endure and overcome in order to grow, develop in Godly character, and ultimately be born into the Family of God. In any case... the seven candlesticks are revealed as the "seven churches" of God. The "called-out-ones" [ekklesia] of God. "Seven" in the Bible denotes "completeness." And since Revelation is a prophecy of Jesus' end time return to earth to establish the Kingdom... it stands to reason that the "seven churches" includes all the "called-out-ones" of God... the "completed" church upon Christ's return.

The city is commended for its faithfulness despite facing persecution and is promised protection from future trials. The mention of Philadelphia in the Bible serves as a message of encouragement for believers to remain steadfast in their faith.
Jesus basically gave a performance review of the seven churches in the book of Revelation. He praised some for their hard work and perseverance, but also called out others for their shortcomings and lack of faith. Long story short, Jesus wasn't afraid to give some tough love and set those churches straight.
