Veliuonos piliakalniai, Archaeological hillfort complex in Veliuona Eldership, Lithuania
The complex includes two primary hills: Ramybės kalnas at 32 meters high and Gedimino kapo kalnas, connected by deep defensive ditches near Nemunas River.
From the late 13th to 15th century, Junigedos Castle stood on Ramybės kalnas, facing multiple attacks from Teutonic Knights until its final destruction in 1348.
The monument erected in 1925 on Gedimino kapo kalnas commemorates Grand Duke Gediminas, who according to local traditions found his final resting place here.
The site remains accessible through marked paths from Veliuona center, with stairs installed to facilitate exploration of both hillforts and surrounding archaeological areas.
Archaeological investigations between 1912 and 2003 revealed a 30-centimeter cultural layer containing brass horseshoe brooches and medieval crossbow bolt tips.
