Тврдина Метеон, Archaeological site in Medun, Montenegro
The fortified settlement of Meteon stands at 1,050 meters elevation on a hilltop, surrounded by valleys in northeastern Montenegro.
The Illyrians constructed Meteon between the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, which later became the residence of King Gentius until Roman forces captured it in 167 BC.
The stone walls and structures of Meteon demonstrate the architectural methods of ancient Illyrian builders who used large blocks of trimmed stone.
The archaeological site lies 13 kilometers northeast of Podgorica and requires sturdy footwear for exploring the steep terrain and stone structures.
Archaeological excavations at Meteon continue to uncover artifacts and structural elements that reveal details about life during multiple historical periods.
