The castra of Odorheiu Secuiesc was a fort built in the 1st century AD. A nearby contemporary settlement was also archeologically identified. The castra and the settlement were abandoned in the 3rd century. Their ruins are located in Odorheiu Secuiesc (Hungarian: Székelyudvarhely) in Romania. At the same settlement, the ruins of a Roman tower can also be identified at Piatra Coţofană (Hungarian: Szarkakő).
