Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa
Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, Ancient Roman archaeological site in Sarmizegetusa, Romania.
The archaeological complex contains preserved remains of temples, an amphitheater, public buildings, and fortification walls spread across 130 hectares of land.
Emperor Trajan established this city in 106 CE as the capital of Roman Dacia, naming it Colonia Ulpia Traiana Augusta Dacica Sarmizegetusa.
The site includes a Roman forum, multiple religious temples, and a gladiator school that demonstrate the Roman administrative and religious practices in Dacia.
The archaeological site opens daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and features ongoing restoration work on the amphitheater funded through European grants.
Roman ruins integrate with modern village life as ancient stone fragments appear in local house walls, wells, and gardens throughout Sarmizegetusa.
