The Grodzisko in Sopot is a significant early medieval archaeological site located in Sopot, Poland. This fortified settlement, dating back to the 8th to 10th centuries CE, is characterized by its defensive structures, including ramparts and a moat, which were strategically positioned on a wooded hill near the seashore. The site includes reconstructed buildings such as huts, a gate, and a palisade, all meticulously placed where original traces were found during archaeological excavations. Now functioning as a heritage park and a branch of the Archaeological Museum in Gdańsk, the site offers visitors a glimpse into the past through exhibitions of relics and various educational activities. It serves as a cultural hub for history and archaeology enthusiasts, hosting events that recreate the everyday life of its ancient inhabitants.
