Why this is the correct answer
Friesach, founded in 860 and first mentioned in documents in 860 CE, is Carinthia's oldest documented urban settlement. Its medieval fortifications are unusually complete, including a water-filled moat, several towers, and the ruins of multiple hilltop castles overlooking the town. Archaeological and architectural evidence from Friesach provides some of the most detailed insights available into medieval urban life in the eastern Alpine region.
