Carpathians.
The location of several thermal springs, Călimănești-Căciulata is known as a spa town. During the 20th century, many hotels and treatment facilities were built in Căciulata, a northern area of the town which is close to Cozia Monastery. The Monastery was built by Mircea the Elder in 1388 which is also the day of the city Călimănești and Râmnicu Vâlcea (just south on DN7). The Arutela Roman Fort is also located here.
The area around the town is full of fresh water springs and spa waters that are not in use. The old town was a bit smaller, the island you see on the Olt river was bigger and the road was located on what is now the river bed. In 1918 the town was a major point of invasion in Transylvania. The town is built along DN7, the second most used road in Romania, used by Romanians to travel across the Carpathians to Transylvania and recently also often used to go to Hungary, Austria and many other EU nations.
The town administers five villages: Căciulata, Jiblea Nouă, Jiblea Veche, Seaca and Păușa.
