Daugmale hill fort, Archaeological site and hill fort in Daugmale Parish, Latvia.
Daugmale hill fort is an archaeological site located on elevated ground overlooking the Daugava River. The remains include defensive walls and building foundations left by ancient inhabitants.
The site contains layers of settlement from medieval times when Baltic tribes used it as a regional center. The fortification served as an important stronghold for the communities inhabiting the area.
The site reflects how Baltic communities organized their lives and engaged in daily activities like crafting and trading. Visitors can see how people adapted to living on elevated ground with river access.
The site is accessible through marked trails that wind through the excavation areas. Information panels along the paths explain the different features and what archaeologists have learned from them.
