The Vatya culture was an archaeological culture of the Early to Middle Bronze Age (ca. 2000-1400 BC) located in the central area of the Danube basin in Hungary.[1] The culture formed from the background of the Nagyrév culture together with influences from the Kisapostag culture.[2] It is characterized mainly by fortified settlements, cremation burial sites, and bronze production.[3] It was succeeded by the Urnfield culture.[4]

Százhalombatta-Földvár, located by the Danube river in Hungary, was an important fortified Vatya settlement, with occupation layers up to 6 m deep.[5]
