Voruta

[1] Voruta is mentioned briefly in a written source only once and its exact location is unknown.

Mindaugas, the first and the only crowned Lithuanian king, defended himself in Voruta during an internal war against his nephews Tautvilas and Edivydas and Duke of Samogitia Vykintas in 1251.

[2] Nevertheless, some historians in 19th and 20th centuries called it "the first capital of Lithuania" and attempted to identify its location.

In the opinion of Kazimieras Būga, one of the prominent Lithuanian philologists, the word voruta simply means castle.

These sites were suggested by various historians in various times:[3] Since publication, some of the theories have been largely discredited.
