Ad Pirum, Roman fortification in Hrušica Plateau, Slovenia.
The remnants of Ad Pirum fortress stretch 250 meters in length with walls reaching 8 meters high and maintaining a thickness of 2.7 meters throughout the structure.
Romans constructed the Ad Pirum fortress in the 320s as part of the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum defense system to protect Italy from eastern invasions.
