The Castra Lentia fortress included defensive walls, barracks for soldiers, storage facilities, and command buildings arranged in a geometric pattern.

The Roman military outpost established in the 2nd century CE served as a crucial defensive position along the Noric Limes frontier system.

The fortress influenced local development through interactions between Roman soldiers and regional inhabitants, leading to trade relationships and settlement patterns.
