Downtown Mendoza.jpg Oraviţa (Template:Lang-hu, Template:Lang-de, in archaic Template:Lang-cs) is a town in southwestern Romania, in the 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.

Agadici (Template:Lang-hu, Template:Lang-de) is a small village administered by Oraviţa.

The history of Agadici can be traced back to at least the 1600s, 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 the Banat.
