Dacian Fortresses Of The Orastie Mountains
Built in
murus dacicus
style, the six
Dacian
Fortresses of the Orastie Mountains
, in
Romania
, were created in the
1st centuries BC
and
AD
as protection against
Roman
conquest. Their extensive and well-preserved remains present a picture of a vigorous and innovative
Iron Age
civilisation. Today,
treasure
-hunters are searching the area, as
Romania
lacks legislation in this domain. The six fortresses -
Sarmizegetusa
,
Blidaru
,
Piatra Rosie
,
Costesti
,
Capalna
and
Banita
- that formed the defensive system of Decebalus together form a
UNESCO
World heritage
site.
