Castra of Brașov, Roman military fortification in Brașov, Romania.
The Castra of Brașov is a Roman military installation built on a hill that offers views across the entire region. Today, sections of its defensive walls and towers from that era remain visible.
The fortress was established as a military outpost during Rome's expansion into Dacia. It played a key role in controlling trade routes between Europe and Asia.
The site reveals how Roman soldiers lived and worked here through artifacts like weapons and tools found during excavations. These objects tell the story of daily life in this distant military outpost.
The site is accessible by public transportation from the city center and connects to several hiking trails in the area. Guided tours are available throughout the year.
The fortifications show traces of changes that span from Roman times through the medieval period. These layers tell the story of different eras that shaped the structure.
