Talsi hillfort, Ancient hillfort in Talsi, Latvia.
The archaeological site rises 32 meters above ground level and contains multiple layers of fortifications constructed with earth and wooden structures.
Built between the 5th and 8th centuries during the Roman Iron Age, the fortification served as a military stronghold for local tribes until the 13th century.
Archaeological excavations conducted from 1936 to 1938 revealed numerous artifacts that demonstrate the daily life and craftsmanship of ancient Baltic inhabitants.
Visitors can access the hillfort throughout the year, with informational plaques explaining the historical significance of different sections of the archaeological site.
The settlement name derives from the Livonian word 'talusse', reflecting the location's function as an isolated defensive position in northern Latvia.
