Oradea is one of the wealthiest cities in Romania, the capital of Bihor County, and an important economic, cultural, and social center not only today but even since the Roman times. Spread along the shores of the Crisu Repede River, only 8 km from the Hungarian border, Oradea enjoys the best of both worlds, a charming mix of both Romanian and Hungarian cultures, full of romantic baroque ornate architecture left over from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Oradea University is one of the biggest in Eastern Europe. Oradea has more than 100 religious buildings of all denominations, including three synagogues, the largest Eastern European Baptist Church, and the Church of the Moon with an astronomical clock showing the phases of the moon. Just outside of the city is Baile Felix, a spa with a number of thermal springs and modern medical centers.
