Constructed between the 1st centuries BC and AD, the Dacian Fortresses of the Orastie Mountains offer a unique insight into the defensive strategies, military techniques, architecture and social life of the people of this region. The remains of six fortresses make up the entire site and include the ruins at Banita, Capalna, Costesti-Blidaru, Costesti-Cetauie, Luncani-Piatra Rosie and Sarmisegetuza. An interesting amalgamation of religious and military elements are seen in the way the structures were built from elements of the classical to late European Iron Age. The Dacians were conquered by the Romans in the 2nd century AD, when the capital Sarmizegetusa Regia was overrun and Decebalus, who had united the Dacian Kingdoms concentrated his forces in the Orastie Mountains committed suicide. Post the Roman invasion of Dacia, the fortresses fell into disuse. The remains of the fortresses however still tell a powerful story.

Covering a massive area, the fortress includes five levels with the main walls built almost three meters thick. The main highlight of the ruins is the andesite sun, the seven sanctuaries and the impressive defense towers.
