ARGAMUM FORTRESS

This fortress was built in the ^mid-7th century BC by Greek settlers from Asia Minor, before coming under Roman control in the ^1st century AD. Among the ruins are the necropolis, the oldest Greek burial complex on the Black Sea, and two artisan kilns used to fire pottery during the Roman period. The fortress is also worth seeing for its setting: it lies 6 km east of the village, on the spectacular Cape Doloșman and its imposing limestone cliffs, at the junction of lakes Razim and Golovița.
