Oraviţa

Oraviţa is a town in southwestern Romania, in Caraş-Severin County, with a population of 15,524 in 2000. Its theatre is a fully functional scaled down version of the Burgtheater in Vienna. Six villages are administered by the town: Agadici (Agadics; Agaditsch), Brădişoru de Jos (Majdán), Broşteni (Brostyán), Ciclova Montană (Csiklovabánya; Montan-Tschiklowa), Marila (Marillavölgy; Marillathal) and Răchitova (Rakitova).

The history of Agadici can be traced back to at least the 17th century, when records noted a population of "800 souls". Today, there are fewer than 200 people living in Agadici. Agadici is a word derived from Turkish; Aga meaning 'colonel' and dici meaning 'daughter'. Therefore, Agadici means "daughter of the colonel". The town was supposedly named after a colonel's daughter when the Ottoman Empire occupied the land that is now Transylvania .
