The Narkūnai Hillfort, also known as Utenis or the Great Hillfort, is one of the most important historical symbols of the Utena region. It is dated to the 1st millennium BC – 2nd century AD and the 14th–early 15th centuries. The hillfort stands on a separate hill on the left bank of the Utenėlė River, making it an excellent site for tourism.
In the 13th century, it was home to the castle of Daumantas, Duke of Nalšia, around which a settlement began to form—the origins of present-day Utena. In 1433, the castle was destroyed by the Livonian Order. Today, Narkūnai Hillfort is a popular gathering place for locals and visitors during various celebrations.
In 1998, the hillfort was declared a cultural monument, covering an area of 4.8 hectares. It is not only a historical landmark but also a cultural site that offers insight into Utena's past while allowing visitors to enjoy its natural beauty.
