Built in the 1st centuries B.C. and A.D. under Dacian rule, these
fortresses show an unusual fusion of military and religious
architectural techniques and concepts from the classical world and the
late European Iron Age. The six defensive works, the nucleus of the
Dacian Kingdom, were conquered by the Romans at the beginning of the 2nd
century A.D.; their extensive and well-preserved remains stand in
spectacular natural surroundings and give a dramatic picture of a
vigorous and innovative civilization.
