Oppidum Nevězice, Celtic archaeological site in Nevězice, Czech Republic

The fortified settlement spans thirteen hectares on the Hrad promontory, featuring defensive walls and two gates above the Orlík reservoir.

Established around 120 BC, the oppidum functioned as a strategic point along the Vltava trade route until fire damaged its fortifications in the first century BC.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed evidence of bronze casting activities and foreign ceramic products, indicating trade connections across Celtic territories.

The fortification remains are accessible from the northwest side at coordinates N 49°28'08.53", E 14°09'55.70", with visible inner rampart sections.

The smallest oppidum in the Czech Republic extends to steep slopes reaching seventy meters above the former Vltava River, now the Orlík reservoir.
