Satezele hillfort, Archaeological hillfort in Sigulda, Latvia

Satezele hillfort stands upon elevated terrain featuring earthwork fortifications that follow natural contours of the land near Vējupītes gravas in Sigulda region.

The defensive structure dates back to the Bronze Age and remained active until the 13th century when the Livonian Crusade led to its abandonment.

The site represents ancient Latvian settlement patterns and defensive strategies, providing evidence of early community organization in the Baltic region.

Visitors can locate the hillfort using its coordinates of 57.171944 latitude and 24.870556 longitude, with access paths leading to the archaeological site.

The hillfort gained official recognition as a state archaeological monument on December 18, 1998, joining Latvia's network of 470 documented hillforts.
