The capital and the most important military, religious and political centre of the Dacians prior to the wars with the Roman Empire... Erected on top of a 1200 m high mountain, the fortress, comprising six citadels, was the core of a strategic defensive system in the Orăştie Mountains (in present-day Romania)...
