Oradea
Oradea is a town located in the west of Romania in the county
of Bihor about 15km from the Hungarian border. It has a history that goes back
to 300BC and at one time the area was included within the Hungarian border, which
is why many Hungarians still live in that area.
It covers 13.5 square miles (35 sq km) with a population of 230,000. The town shows
some new building developments of shops and housing, but the sale of housing
is slow as Romanians cannot afford the deposit and mortgage repayments required. |
