A hidden triangular hill sits on the edge of Alytus, a river forgotten by time. What ancient relics lie within its triangular walls?

The Radžiūnai hillfort, located on the Alytus city territory near the Kirmijos upelis river, is a triangular archaeological site dating back to the Iron Age. In 1954, it was first investigated by the Institute of History. The site is triangular, with a size of approximately 40x40m and designated as a 161,000m² cultural heritage site by the Lithuanian Republic's Government in 1998. It was first mentioned by Juozapas Radziukynas in 1909, and Petras Tarasenka wrote about it in 1997.
