Built on top of a 1200 m high mountain, the fortress, consisting of six citadels, was the core of a strategic and defensive system in the Or\u0103\u0219tie 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.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n\n\nCorvin Castle<\/summary>\nEnter the realm of medieval majesty at Corvin Castle<\/strong>, a legendary fortress nestled in the heart of Transylvania, Romania.
