Rikalan linna, Iron Age hillfort in Salo, Finland
The stone walls extend 160 meters along the southwestern and southeastern slopes of Linnamäki, reaching 59 meters above sea level.
Between 1000 and 1200 CE, the area functioned as a trading center, leading to the construction of fortifications on the nearby mountain.
Archaeological excavations in 2001-2002 by the University of Turku revealed cultural layers and increased phosphorus values indicating human activities.
A marked path leads visitors up the eastern slope to the summit, where an information board provides details about the site's history.
The fort maintains cave-like depressions and stone formations that created gate-like structures, suggesting the presence of ancient guard posts.
