Orșova, Port settlement in Mehedinți County, Romania.
The municipality of Orșova stands on elevated ground above the Danube River, where the Cerna River joins the main waterway at the Iron Gates region.
Following the construction of the Iron Gates dam between 1966 and 1971, the original town center was submerged, leading to the complete relocation of Orșova.
The town maintains connections to multiple ethnic communities through its position as a border settlement, reflecting influences from Romanian, Serbian, and Hungarian traditions.
The Orșova shipyard, established in 1890, continues to provide maintenance and repair services for vessels that navigate along the Danube River system.
Near Orșova, the Hungarian Crown of Saint Stephen remained buried underground from 1848 until its recovery in 1853.
