Oraşul Antic Tropaeum Traiani de la Adamclisi

La Adamclisi în judeţul Constanţa aveţi 3 obiective foarte importante de vizitat:
Oraşul antic Tropaeum Traiani, monumentul roman Tropaeum Traiani şi Muzeul Arheologic Adamclisi unde se află elementele originale ale monumentului.
Lângă situl bătăleiei din iarna 101-102 dintre Daci şi Romani, în care legiunile romane au respins o puternică incursiune a regelui Decebal la sud de Dunăre, Traian a înălţat un falnic monument şi a fondat o colonie romană pentru veteranii legiunilor. Colonia a devenit cel mai mare oraş roman din Dobrogea şi a prosperat mai multe secole până când invaziile barbare l-au ruinat (goţii, avarii).
Situl a fost cercetat de profesorul arheologul Grigore Tocilescu între 1891-1909, fiind meritul marelui om de ştiinţă readucerea la lumină a istoriei acestui loc.
Astăzi printre vastele ruine se află panouri informative despre diferitele clădiri din oraş, printre care se află numeroase biserici. Zidurile oraşului pot fi văzute pe stânga pe drumul ce duce spre Tropaeum Traiani iar intrarea este câteva sute de metri mai departe.
