Oppidum of Hrazany, Celtic oppidum near Sedlčany, Czech Republic.

The fortified settlement spans 39 hectares across two hills, Doubí and Červenka, at the meeting point of the Vltava and Mastník rivers.

Archaeological excavations from 1951 to 1963 revealed the settlement's establishment in the mid-2nd century BCE and its abandonment between 30-20 BCE.

The oppidum contained multiple residential areas with three-room houses equipped with fireplaces, grain mills, and spaces for metalworking and gold panning activities.

Six gates provided access to the settlement, with the northern Gate B showing deep wheel marks from merchant caravans traveling along the Austrian trade route.

The defensive walls, constructed from stone, wood, and clay, reached widths of 4 meters and featured a wooden palisade at their summit.
