Archaeological investigations at the fortified site of Gesztes in 2003 and 2005 concluded that a smaller, previously unidentified structure probably does not date from the 13th century. Most of the finds from the excavation trenches were attributed to the 15th century. This provides a specific point of interest for travellers interested in archaeological findings.
