The castra of Hoghiz was a fort in the Roman province of Dacia.[1] The fort was built in the 2nd century AD, on the left bank of the Olt River, at a place where a Dacian settlement existing already in the 2nd century BC was unearthed.[2] The fort and the nearby village were abandoned in the 3rd century AD. The ruins of the castra are located in Hoghiz, a village of Transylvania in Romania.
