The river Brebina passes through this old Mehedinti fair, in the area there are many Dacian ruins, sign that the region was inhabited by the Dacians. Today, however, nature has re-established its rights. Once upon a time, here were copper mines, but now the village has more agro-tourist interest, being located near many mountain tourist attractions.
At Baia de Arama in the area, from Bratilov, Mircea the Elder brought Saxi craftsmen, like Ciop Hanoş. The wheels he had arranged here before 1392 are mentioned in several acts. Baia de Aramă was a village and it has not become a fair since the 17th century. The settlement was on the great road beneath the mountain crossing Wallachia. From Râmnic and Ocna Mare, the road started towards the Jiu and Severin fairs, passing through Polovragi, the Gilort Fair and Baia de Aramă, being used by the Sibiu merchants. In the mid-seventeenth century, this route was used by Paul de Aleppo and Patriarch Macarie of Antioch on their journey to the Wallachian monasteries.

Geographical location
Baia de Aramă is located in the north-west of Oltenia, in the Mehedinţi Plateau.
Parallel 45 North passes through this locality.
It is sheltered in a small depression, surrounded by the Dochiciu, Dealul-Mare and Cornet hills. Along the Baia de Aramă belong neighboring localities: Brebina, Titerleşti, Bratilovu, Mărăşeşti, Stăneşti. The carst is sprinkled by a large number of caves well-known through their beauty treasures: Bulba, Cloşani, Ponoarele, Izverna.
The forests are populated by wild animals: the fox, the deer, the goat, the rabbit, the squirrel, the creature, the wild boar, and even the wolf or bear. Among the rarities we can mention are hippopotamus (vipera ammodites), scorpion (euscorpius carpathiann), turtle (testudo hermani) and a series of sappers.

Bulba River
Bulba River in Baia de Aramă
Alongside the forests and pastures, the water is a great asset. The city is crossed by the Bulba River, which springs from the cave of the same name in connection with the Ponoare Cave through which the water of Lake Zatonis flows. The flow of the river is increased by the large number of springs that feed it, of which the best known is Bolboros, which springs at the foot of Cornet at the base of a cliff. The name suggests the force with which the fountain melts mumbling in a cold and crystalline language of beauty unaltered by the passage of time. Here, in Bolboros, hot summer excursions to green grass and feast parties until late at night were organized. Although such parties are more and more rare lately, Bolboros remains a charming place that awaits those who are fond of beauty. The waters of the spring were captured for a trout under the administration of the Forestry Era in Baia de Aramă. Something below is another spring that has been captured and brought to the church and school, where it flows into a seemingly fountain built with twelve mouths, a real waste of wealth.
