Mindaugo sostas, Medieval hillfort in Kernavė eldership, Lithuania.
The hillfort rises above the Neris River valley, featuring steep slopes and remnants of ancient defensive structures from early Lithuanian settlements.
Mindaugo sostas formed part of the medieval defense system of Kernavė, which served as Lithuania's first capital during the reign of King Mindaugas.
The site maintains archaeological evidence of Baltic tribes, including fragments of ceramics, tools, and weapons that reflect daily life in medieval Lithuania.
Visitors can access the hillfort through marked pathways from the Kernavė Archaeological Museum, which provides guided tours in multiple languages.
The hillfort contains traces of wooden fortifications that burned at extremely high temperatures, resulting in preserved red clay fragments within the soil layers.
