Frontiers of the Roman Empire – Dacia
Roman frontier, 277 points, AD 106–271 · from the Danube to the Danube, through Banat, Transylvania and Muntenia
The longest and most complex land border of a Roman province in Europe: more than 1,000 kilometres from the Danube round to the Danube, with 277 inscribed components: legionary fortresses, auxiliary forts, earthen ramparts, towers, temporary camps.
The Dacian Limes accounts for 277 of Romania's 323 UNESCO places, 86% of the points. Most are traces in farmland with no visitor paths; UNESCO inscribed the archaeological evidence, not the tourist infrastructure. It is the Romanian part of the transnational 'Frontiers of the Roman Empire' series, alongside Hadrian's Wall, the German Limes and the Danube Limes. Romania's own Danube segment, nominated separately, is not yet inscribed.
One site, 277 points: 86% of everything Romania has on the map.
