      The stable reduction of some Galois covers of the projective line branched at three points is computed by using Hurwitz spaces parameterizing metacyclic covers. The reduction is determined by a certain hypergeometric differential equation, which generalizes the result of \textit{P. Deligne} and \textit{M. Rapoport} on the reduction of modular curve \(X(p)\) [in: Modular functions and variable II, Proc. internat. Summer School, Univ. Antwerp 1972, Lect. Notes Math. 349, 143--316 (1973; Zbl 0281.14010)].
