Castrum Carsium

The fortress remains stand on the right bank of the Danube River, featuring stone walls and remnants of military structures from ancient times.

Established in the first century AD during Roman expansion, Castrum Carsium protected a vital crossing point on the Danube as part of the Moesian frontier system.

The fort housed both military units and naval detachments of the Classis Moesica, representing the strategic combination of land and water forces in Roman territories.

The archaeological site contains visible structural elements of the ancient fortification, including defensive walls and foundations of military buildings from different construction periods.

A bronze parade helmet from the second century AD discovered at this location now resides in the National Museum of Bucharest.
