Castra Ulcisia, Roman military fortification in Szentendre, Hungary.

The Roman camp covers an area of 134 by 205 meters with square towers constructed within its walls and double moats for defense.

Built in the early 2nd century AD, Castra Ulcisia functioned as a northern defense outpost for Aquincum, the capital of Roman Pannonia province.

The military camp included a necropolis dating from the 2nd to 4th centuries, revealing burial practices and daily life of Roman soldiers.

The archaeological site contains the fully excavated principia, partial remains of the questorium, and numerous stone artifacts displayed in the Ferenczy Károly Museum.

In the 4th century, the fortress underwent reconstruction, replacing square towers with horseshoe-shaped structures and adding fan-shaped towers at corners.
