Plenița

Plenița lies in western Oltenia, on the northern edge of the Wallachian plain, inland from the Danube. Shallow valleys cut through the land around the settlement, their intermittent streams flowing after rain and the melting of snow. Archaeological finds at the nearby place known as Cetățuia lui Matei Bârdău testify to occupation in the area long before the villages of the plain took their later form.
