Arcidava, Ancient Roman fortress in Vărădia, Romania
The stone fortress of Arcidava covers an area of 174 by 154 meters on the left bank of the Caraș River in Caraș-Severin County.
Constructed as a military outpost during Roman times, Arcidava served as the headquarters for Cohors I Vindelicorum, controlling the road network toward Roman Dacia.
Archaeological excavations revealed multiple rooms and bath facilities, indicating complex social structures and daily activities of Roman military and civilian inhabitants.
Visitors access the archaeological site through guided tours, which present structural elements and construction techniques from the Roman period in Romania.
The first archaeological studies of Arcidava in 1932 uncovered evidence of both military installations and civilian settlements sharing the same geographical space.
