Castra Ad Iuvense, Roman military fort in Wallsee-Sindelburg, Austria.
The fortress stands on a rectangular rock plateau overlooking the Danube floodplains, with dimensions of 200 meters by 160 meters, covering 3.1 hectares.
Archaeological excavations between 1966 and 2018 revealed multiple construction phases, from initial timber-earth fortifications to later stone structures dating from the 1st to 5th centuries.
The site housed various military units including the Legio secunda Italica and Cohors prima Aelia Brittonum, who maintained order along the Roman Empire border.
Visitors can explore the excavated areas through modern facilities and learn about Roman military life at the nearby Römermuseum, which displays recovered artifacts.
The name Ad Iuvense translates to 'the one on the mountain,' reflecting its elevated position that provided strategic control over Danube River crossings.
