The Sarmizegetusa Regia

Did you know that Romania is home to one of the oldest fortified settlements in Europe? The Sarmizegetusa Regia, located in the Carpathian Mountains, was the capital of the Dacian Kingdom and served as the residence of King Decebalus.

This ancient site, dating back to the 1st century BC, features impressive fortifications, megalithic walls, and a complex network of tunnels. Its strategic location made it a formidable stronghold against Roman invasions.
