The castra of Livezile was a castra in the Roman province of Dacia, located in the north side of the modern commune of Livezile in the historical region of Transylvania, Romania.[1][2] The fort was erected and surrounded by a ditch in the 2nd century AD.[2] The castra was abandoned in the 3rd century and its ruins are still visible.[1][2]
