ORADEA the capital city of BIHOR COUNTY and CRIȘANA REGION, is one of the important centers of economic, social and cultural development in the western part of ROMANIA, retaining these characteristics throughout history.
   The city is located, on the banks of CRIȘUL REPEDE RIVER, that divides the city into almost equal halves to 126 m above sea level and was inhabited by the DACIANS and CELTS. After the conquest of DACIA the ROMANS established a presence in the area, most notably in the SALCA district of the city and modern day BĂILE FELIX (i.s.).
