Sabile hillfort, Ancient hillfort in Sabile, Latvia.
The fortification stands on an elevated position overlooking the Abava River valley, providing extensive views across the surrounding agricultural landscapes and vineyards.
The hillfort served as a strategic settlement from the 10th to 13th century, initially occupied by Livonians before falling under Couronian control during their territorial expansion.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered numerous artifacts that demonstrate the daily routines and defense methods of the medieval Baltic tribes.
Visitors can reach the hillfort by following marked pathways from the Sabile town center, with parking available near the base of the elevation.
The hillfort remains include preserved earthen ramparts and terraces that illustrate the engineering capabilities of ancient Baltic fortification builders.
