Aikštelė Hillfort, located in Southwestern Lithuania, is a testament to the region's rich history. Strategically situated at the confluence of the Nemunas and Šerento upelis rivers, this site spans 26,500 square meters and rises 35 meters high and 17 meters wide. Excavations in 2001 revealed thriving dwellings and hearths, dating from the 1st to the 12th centuries. Among the artifacts discovered are fired clay shards, which were protected by the Lithuanian Republic's Ministry of Culture with the order of preservation of cultural heritage in 2005. The Aikštelė Hillfort continues to be a beacon of our past, echoing with secrets from a forgotten era.
