Article History

Reşiƫa, city, capital of Caraş-Severin judeƫ (county), southwestern Romania, near the Serbian border. In a coal- and metal-mining region, it is a long-established metalworking centre. After World War II the ironworks and steelworks of Reşiƫa were modernized, and there are several associated heavy-engineering works and a factory producing diesel engines for railway locomotives. The city is close to the coalfield centred on Anina and uses local iron ore from Dognecea and Ocna de Fier. Manganese mined in the area produces a small margin for export. Formerly an important Roman settlement, the city has a museum that contains Neolithic remains, Roman coins and arms, ancient books, and exhibits of city history. Highways and a railway connection extend through the city. Pop. (2007 est.) 84,678.
