Oppidum Třísov, Celtic oppidum near Třísov, Czech Republic.

The fortified settlement spreads across 26 hectares of elevated terrain, protected by double ramparts and featuring two large entrance gates and an octagonal shrine.

Established after 150 BC, this settlement functioned as a strategic point where Celtic tribes controlled trade routes along the Vltava River until the 1st century BC.

Archaeological excavations have revealed numerous artifacts, including Celtic pottery, metal tools, and Roman ceramics, indicating active trade between these civilizations.

Visitors can access the site through an educational trail with information boards explaining the settlement layout, fortification systems, and daily life of Celtic inhabitants.

The fortification system employs a construction method found only at Třísov, where large stones are positioned vertically flat in continuous rows forming massive walls.
