The town of Or\u015fova has a story dating back to the Dacians and Romans, when the city was known as Dierna. Originally part of the Roman province of Dacia, the Romans built here a castra, Dierna. In the area of the locality were discovered the traces of the Dacian-Roman settlement Dierna, rose to the rank of city in 193. During the entire medieval period, the Or\u0219ova fortress retained its importance, being disputed by all the powers of that time. Thus, Or\u0219ova constituted a subject of dispute between the Lithuanian prince Litovoi and the Kingdom of Hungary. The settlement remains in the possession of the Wallachian rulers. It was, with the appointment of Iancu of Hunedoara as Leader of Severin, in Hungarian possession. In 1524, the entire Or\u0219ova fortress was conquered by the Turks who took possession of it until 1688, when the town became under Austrian domination, and in 1768 it became the headquarters of an Austrian border garrison, attacked and destroyed in 1819 by Tudor Vladimirescu. In 1916, the settlement was released by the Romanian army. In 1923 Or\u0219ova was declared a town and since 1968 it is affiliated with Mehedin\u0163i County.<\/p>\n Information and Contact<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Or\u0219ova City Hall: tel: +40252 361 233, http:\/\/www.primariaorsova.ro<\/a><\/p>\n Route close to other thematic routes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n In the area you can visit:<\/p>\n – The Danube Cluster<\/p>\n – Dubova Commune<\/p>\n – E\u0219elni\u021ba Commune<\/p>\n – Vodi\u021ba Monartery<\/p>\n – The Iron Gates Dam 1<\/p>\n – The Iron Gates Hydropower Plant Museum<\/p>\n – Drobeta Turnu-Severin<\/p>\n Other useful information<\/strong><\/p>\n Accommodation:<\/u><\/p>\n Apolodor Hotel, tel: +40 352 415 925<\/p>\n \u0162aka Guesthouse, tel: +40252 360 335<\/p>\n Damiro Guesthouse, tel: +40722 207 930<\/p>\n Meridian Hotel, tel: +40252 362 800<\/p>\n Casa Noastr\u0103 Guesthouse, tel: +40745 110 839<\/p>\n Casa Verde, tel: +40744 954 191<\/p>\n Pl\u0103pumioara Chalet, tel: +40762 695 892<\/p>\n Events:<\/u><\/p>\n – Mihai Eminescu Festival, January 15;<\/p>\n – The Celebrations Days of Or\u015fova – 14-15 August,<\/p>\n – The Autumn Festival – in October,<\/p>\n – Contests for the Young people: The Danube Pearl Festival, The Iron Gates Trophy, and ROBOTOR International Robot Trophy.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/promehedinti.ro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/p2-4.webp\")
