A Mystery Unveiled: The Enigmatic Past of Rubinavo Piliakalnis

A Mystery Unveiled: The Enigmatic Past of Rubinavo Piliakalnis

In the heart of Šilalė, a phantom of the past lurks within the hills of Rubinavo Piliakalnis.

The elusive Rubinavo Piliakalnis, a hillfort in Šilalė, Western Lithuania, is one of the ancient hill settlements in the region. Built upon a secretive timeline, its height reaches 2 meters, and it forms a 25-meter circumference. At the hill's summit, two towering entrances stand tall, one at the north and one at the east, each reach 6 meters high. The site expanded during the 20th century. However, the exact diameter remains vague in the existing data. A dwelling site for the archaeological team, with traces of ancient pottery, is situated on a 1-hectare plot at the hill's summit.
