Getic fort of Butuceni, Archaeological monument in Butuceni, Moldova.
The fort extends across a promontory with defensive earthworks, including visible ramparts and ditches that demonstrate ancient military engineering techniques.
The archaeological site dates back to the Geto-Dacian civilization, which established fortified settlements in this region between the 9th and 2nd centuries BC.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered numerous artifacts, including pottery and tools, revealing details about daily life in ancient Moldova.
The site forms part of a 4-kilometer hiking trail that starts at the Orheiul Vechi Exhibition Centre and takes approximately 90 minutes to complete.
The fort stands within the Orheiul Vechi Archaeological Landscape, an area that supports one-third of Moldova's bird population with over 100 different species.
