Castra Mursa, Roman military camp in Osijek, Croatia
The fortified settlement of Castra Mursa extends along the Drava River, featuring stone walls, barracks, granaries, and defensive structures against northern invasions.
Emperor Trajan established this military outpost in the first century AD as part of the Pannonian Limes, protecting Roman territories along the Danube frontier.
Archaeological excavations at Castra Mursa reveal numerous artifacts, including pottery, tools, and inscriptions that document the daily activities of Roman soldiers.
The remains of the ancient fortress lie beneath modern Osijek, with select sections of foundations and walls accessible through guided archaeological tours.
The garrison maintained a strategic position controlling both river traffic and land routes, making it a central hub for military operations in Lower Pannonia.
