The Sexaginta Prista fortress was located at the end of the 19th century by Felix Kanitz based on the distances between the fortresses marked on Roman route maps. The first information and remains of it were obtained at the beginning of the 20th century by the Shkorpil brothers. About 50 m of the northwestern fortress wall and tower, six buildings, a temple of Apollo, and the Principia - the headquarters of the military unit in Sexaginta Prista - were discovered.
Traditionally, the name of the fortress is translated as "Port of the 60 ships". The name is also associated with Emperor Domitian. The first currently known epigraphic and written sources date from the beginning of the 2nd century.
The Sexaginta Prista fortress is designed as an open-air museum. The exhibition section also includes a German bunker from World War II, which presents religious life in the province of Lower Moesia in the 1st-3rd centuries through votive materials.
