Abstract

The Roman-period and medieval sites investigated on Sibrik Hill and in the Várkert Valley enclosing it are an important part of the antique and medieval monuments of Visegrád. Discussed here are the findings of the 2013–2015 excavation campaigns, which revealed that the abandoned Roman fort had been occupied from the late 8th century and during the 9th century, well before the foundation of the medieval Hungarian state, and that the occupation of this central place can be traced up to the late Árpádian Age.
