Castra of Buciumi, Roman military fort in Buciumi, Romania.
The stone fortress measures 125 by 160 meters, featuring thick defensive walls, trapezoidal corner towers, and square curtain towers along its perimeter.
Built during Emperor Trajan's reign in the 2nd century AD, this military installation controlled passage through the Rag pass in the Meseș Mountains.
The fort housed the cohort II Augusta Nerviana milliaria Brittonum and included essential buildings like Principia, basilica, and military barracks.
The archaeological site stands 500 meters northwest of Buciumi village center, with artifacts displayed at the County Museum in Zalău.
The fortress underwent three construction phases, beginning as an earthen structure before evolving into a stone fortification with multiple defensive elements.
