Aukuro kalnas, Archaeological site in Kernavė, Lithuania.
Five interconnected hills form this archaeological complex, featuring steep slopes and fortified structures that protected ancient settlements in medieval times.
Archaeological excavations initiated in 1992 at Aukuro kalnas have uncovered numerous artifacts dating back to the first century, revealing details about early Baltic tribes.
The hillfort represents a central element of Lithuanian heritage, where communities gather annually to commemorate traditional festivals and historical events.
Visitors can access the site through marked pathways that connect all five hills, with informational panels explaining the historical context along the routes.
Located in the Neris Valley, this elevated fortification provided strategic advantages while offering views across the surrounding landscape for monitoring potential threats.
