Aizkraukle hillfort, Archaeological monument in Skrīveri Parish, Latvia
The ancient Aizkraukle hillfort stands on elevated terrain near the Daugava River, featuring remnants of defensive walls and settlement structures from previous centuries.
The site remained an active settlement from the Bronze Age through the 13th century, when the arrival of the Livonian Order led to its abandonment.
Archaeological excavations at Aizkraukle hillfort revealed numerous artifacts that demonstrate the daily activities and craftsmanship of ancient Baltic tribes.
Visitors can reach the hillfort by following marked paths from the main road, with informational panels explaining the site's historical significance throughout the year.
The hillfort's position along ancient trade routes made it a central point for commerce between Baltic tribes, evidenced by discovered foreign trading goods.
