Lithuania's Ancient Hillfort Twins: An Iron Age Puzzle in Linkmenys

The Ginučiai and Papiliakalnė hillforts, nestled on the Šiliniškés Ridge within the Linkmenys elderate of Ignalina District, Lithuania, offer a fascinating peek into the region’s distant past. Archaeological discoveries hint that these hillforts date back to the Iron Age, and may have been part of a larger complex which once included the Ginučiai hillfort. To the south of Papiliakalnė, lies the intriguing mystery of Ginučiai hillfort, which is believed to mark the site of the thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Linkmenys Castle.
