From the 3rd to the 5th century AD it protected Roman lands against breaches from the barbaric tribes in the east. The stronghold had an 8-metre-high wall and 10-metre-high towers. The stronghold is 250m long and 75m high with nearly 3m thick walls where around 500 soldiers could dwell. It is a place of epic battles where a lot of archaeological evidences of warfare were found in a shape of lost belongings of soldiers and centurions fighting there. But walls did not hold back people to migrate from 5th century on. In the early middle ages there is no concrete evidence that the stronghold was still in use. From the 12th to the 14th century a church was built inside, dedicated to Saint Jedert, patroness of travellers. So the route had traffic. The old Post Office, now a guest house, was a post office station from 19th century, and also a hunters lodge for the Counts of Lanthieri.
Visits of the archaeological site are free of charge and include a lot of terrain if a visitor is keen to research. It is possible to visit the museum room of archaeological findings in the guest house Stara Pošta , upon request. The best time for visits are from April to October. Guided tours are payable.
