Sarmizegetusa Regia

Sarmizegetusa Regia was the capital of the Dacian kingdom, built on mountain terraces at about 1,200 metres in the Orăștie Mountains of Romania. It had a fortress, a sacred zone of circular and rectangular sanctuaries, and workshops. Roman forces captured and destroyed it in 106 CE in Trajan's second Dacian War. It is part of a World Heritage Site.
