history

Tropaeum Traiani

The establishment of the place in Roman times probably goes back to a legion camp called "Civitas Tropaensium".
The place became famous because of its monument, the Tropaeum Traiani , which was built as a sign of victory by the Romans after Trajan's wars against the Dacians in 109.
Later veterans of the Dacian Wars settled here . Around the year 200 the place received Roman city rights . After the Romans withdrew from Dacia , the Goths ruled the Tropaeum Traiani.
Under Constantine , the city received new fortifications and flourished again.
It was sacked by the Avars in 587 and then sank into insignificance for centuries.
With the conquest of Dobruja by the Ottoman Empire at the end of the 14th century, Turks and Tatars settled there .
The name Adamklissi or Adam Kilise ( Turkish : "Church of the Man") came about through an error. The Turks thought the monument was a church.

Attractions

In addition to the "Tropaeum Traiani", the ruins of the city of the same name uncovered by archaeologists can be visited. These include the defenses with 22 towers and 4 gates, sewer systems, cobbled streets and 4 early Christian churches.
