Castra of Drobeta

Local nameRuinele castrului roman Drobeta
LocationDrobeta-Turnu Severin, Romania

The Drobeta was a fort built by Emperor Trajan in the province of Roman Dacia, in the present city Drobeta-Turnu Severin. It was built to protect the northern side of Trajan's Bridge across the Danube which was built quickly in preparation for Trajan's Second Dacian War in 103-105 AD. It was therefore in a key strategic location from where the imperial road north into Dacia started.

Around it developed the Roman city of Drobeta.

The fort has been extensively excavated and is visible today.
