Sudargas hillforts, Archaeological hillforts complex near Nemunas River in Šakiai District Municipality, Lithuania.

The Sudargas complex contains five distinct hillforts situated along the left bank of the Nemunas River, forming the second largest hillfort ensemble in Lithuania.

The medieval fortifications served as a defense center against Teutonic attacks until June 24, 1317, when the Samogitian Sudargas Castle fell to enemy forces.

The area features an amphitheater molded by natural terrain that hosts local events, sports activities, and cultural performances throughout the year.

Visitors can explore the 187-meter Basakoju Path through the pine forest, which includes a swinging bridge and leads to the various archaeological structures.

The Vorpilis Hillfort section preserves structural elements from the first millennium and provides extensive views across the surrounding Lithuanian landscape.
