Asseria
Asseria submitted by AlexHunger : Asseria Hillfort Iron Age Hillfort near Zadar Croatia. Later taken over by Romans, but abandoned in 6th Century during Slav invasions. The fortifications were made of large limestone blocks by native Liburnian Illyrian natives already inspired by Greeks. You have to drive through partially war devastated villages to get there, but roads are pretty good. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Hillfort in Croatia

Started 6th century BCE by iron age native Liburnian Illyrians and then developed under Hellenistic influence with massive blocks. After Roman conquest, Asseria was renovated as municipium and eventually received a monumental gate commemorating visit by Hadrian in 113 CE, which is now lost. There is a secondary entrance at north for goods, animals etc. In the south there is the remains of a forum, now a cemetery and church. The site is about 450 Meters by 150 meters and at 243 Meters altitude. You must drive through war ravaged villages to get to this site, but it appears safe. Croatian Air Force training aircraft from a nearby airbase tend to practice overhead.
