Sidabrė, Ancient hillfort in northern Lithuania

The fortified settlement stands on an elevated position with steep slopes and features defensive earthworks including ramparts and deep ditches on all sides.

The Semigallians maintained control of Sidabrė until 1290, when they burned their final stronghold during resistance against the Livonian Order's northern crusades.

Archaeological findings at Sidabrė reveal the military and social structures of the Semigallians, a Baltic tribe that inhabited territories in present-day Latvia and Lithuania.

The hillfort remains accessible throughout the year, with paths leading to the summit providing views across the surrounding Lithuanian countryside.

Researchers have documented evidence of multiple construction phases at Sidabrė, indicating continuous occupation and fortification improvements over several centuries.
