Осталась только история

Городище находится недалеко от дороги. Выглядит как круглый земляной вал, высотой примерно метра 4. Внутри площадка для проведения мероприятий и каменный куб с мачтой для флага. Так что от городища...

Une place forte dont il reste rien

Le site vaut le détour car c'est juste à côté de la route principale mais il n'y a franchement pas grand chose à voir à part une stèle mémorielle.
