Sarmizegetusa (colloquially and until 1941 officially Grădiște; Hungarian: Várhely) is a commune in Țara Hațegului depression, Hunedoara County, Romania. It is composed of five villages: Breazova (Brázova), Hobița-Grădiște (Hobicavárhely), Păucinești (Paucsinesd), Sarmizegetusa and Zeicani (Zajkány).
