Sarmizegetusa (colloquially and until 1941 officially Grădişte; Hungarian: Várhely) is a commune in Ţara Haţegului depression, Hunedoara County, Romania. It is composed of five villages: Breazova, Hobiţa-Grădişte, Păucineşti, Sarmizegetusa and Zeicani.
Built atop the ruins of the capital of Roman Dacia, Ulpia Traiana, it is some 40 km from the capital of the Dacian kingdom, Sarmizegetusa Regia. The ruins of both Ulpia Traiana Sarmizegetusa and Sarmizegetusa Regia are still available for visiting.
