About Oradea
[Oh`rah`deah]

Oradea is the capital city of Bihor County, in Crisana, Romania. The city lies at the meeting point of the Crisana plain and the Crisul Repede's basin. It is situated 126 meters above sea-level, surrounded on the north-eastern part by the hills of Oradea belonging to the Ses hills. Oradea is famous for its thermal springs. Oradea dates back to a small 10th century castle, while its bishopric was founded during the 11th century by King Ladislaus I of Hungary. The first documented mention of its name was in 1113 under the Latin name Varadinum. (Wikipedia, Wikipedia GNU FDL)
