The Piliakalnis archaeological site, dated to the 1st century, lies in Marijampole's northern territory, near Rytupio cliff. Its triangular shape reaches approximately 4m in height. One intriguing feature is an unconfirmed guard site, about 3x3m square, possibly used for surveillance or guarding the nearby river. This guard site, an anomaly in Lithuania's archaeological landscape, lends a layer of mystery and historical significance to the area. It testifies to the strategic mindset of those who once inhabited this region.
