Castrum Argamum, Ancient Roman military fort in Jurilovca, Romania.
The Roman fortress stands on elevated terrain near the Black Sea coast, featuring defensive walls and foundations of military buildings across the site.
Built in the first century AD, Castrum Argamum controlled maritime trade routes and protected the region from invasions along the Black Sea coastline.
Archaeological excavations at the site have uncovered pottery, tools, and coins that demonstrate the daily activities of Roman soldiers stationed at this outpost.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours departing from Jurilovca, with informational panels explaining the fortress layout and functions.
