Castrum Partiscum
Castrum Partiscum consists of the ruins of an ancient Roman fortress located on the banks of the Tisza River. Historically, this site is believed to have served as the westernmost point of the province of Dacia. Visitors go here to see the archaeological traces of the Roman military presence in the region and to explore the remnants of the old Szeged castle site.

Visit Duration
Because the site consists of archaeological traces rather than a large enclosed complex, most visitors spend approximately 30 to 60 minutes exploring the area.
