Liškiava hillfort, Archaeological site and scenic viewpoint in Merkinė Eldership, Lithuania.
The elevated hillfort stands prominently above the surrounding landscape, offering views across the Nemunas River and adjacent forest areas.
During the Middle Ages, this defensive structure protected local settlements and served as a strategic observation point for monitoring potential invaders.
The site represents early Lithuanian engineering methods and defensive architecture, demonstrating the technical capabilities of medieval Baltic tribes.
