Sarmizegetusa
Don't even try to say the name of this place. This is the Dacian and Roman Citadel. This place is also a UNESCO Heritage Site where archaeologists come from all over to dig. Dacians setteled here from the 3rd century BC onwards. They built up a magnificent kingdom centered in Sarmizegetusa and surrounded by a defensive circle of fortifications in the Orastie Mountains. Sarmizegetusa remained unconquered by the Romans until 106 AD when the Dacians were forced to move north by Roman forces. Only part of the great city has been unearthed. During the early 14th century, the stones of the village were used to build churches.
