The capital and the most important military, religious and political centre of the Dacians prior to the wars with the Roman Empire... Erected on top of a 1200 m high mountain, the fortress, comprising six citadels, was the core of a strategic defensive system in the Orăştie Mountains (in present-day Romania)... Sarmizegetusa Regia should not be confused with Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa, the Roman capital of Dacia built by Roman Emperor Trajan some 40 km away, which was not the Dacian capital. Sarmizegetusa Ulpia was discovered earlier, was known already in the early 1900s, and was initially mistaken for the Dacian capital, a confusion which led to incorrect conclusions being made regarding the military history and organization of the Dacians...

On a roadtrip in Romania in June 2016. The photo was taken somewhere close to the small village Hațeg I think. At least it is somewhere in the in the west part of Romania, on the roads between Drobeta-Turnu Severin and Deva. A region filled with scenery like this, mountains (some with snow), hills, forests, castles and farms. Romania is such a diverse country. A country that should be on every travellers bucket list!
