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 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.
