Castra Intercisa, Roman military fortress in Dunaújváros, Hungary

The military camp stands on a plateau approximately 50 meters above the right bank of the Danube River, offering control over the Hungarian Great Plains.

The fortress operated as part of the Pannonian Limes defensive system until 433 CE, when Roman forces withdrew from the Pannonian provinces.

Archaeological excavations at Intercisa revealed a multi-ethnic population through inscriptions, architectural remains, and numerous artifacts from different cultural backgrounds.

The archaeological park presents preserved structures including the Porta Principalis Dextra, eastern corner towers, and the administrative headquarters known as Principia.

The site contains a rare terracotta model of a gate, which provides detailed information about the architectural features of Roman fortress construction.

Location: Dunaújváros
