History of Orsova


JuteVilla
The locality was the site of a Roman port in Dacia Malvensis, and the site of a castrum named Dierna.

In 1925, a confusion done by scholar Nandor Fettich misplaced the important Magyar burial site discovered at Cheglevici into the Orşova region. Later, the location of that discovery, testifying to the presence of the Magyars since the early 10th century, was clarified for the archeological community.

King Ladislaus I of Hungary decisively defeated the Cumans near Orșova in 1091.
