Birštonas hillfort, Archaeological hillfort in Birštonas eldership, Lithuania.

The hillfort features two prominent stone ramparts reaching 16 meters in width, positioned 15 meters apart along the northern and northwestern sections.

The fortified settlement dates back to the first millennium, serving as a strategic defensive position overlooking the surrounding territories and nearby waterways.

The site contains evidence of ancient Lithuanian settlements, with archaeological discoveries revealing remnants of communal life and defensive structures from early inhabitants.

Access to the hillfort requires careful navigation of steep slopes, and visitors should note that the site does not accommodate wheelchair access.

The internal area of the hillfort contains multiple rock outcrops and rises toward the southeast corner, where a passage tomb stands within a drystone wall.
