Curtea

Curtea (Hungarian: Kurtya; German: Kurtaa) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania.

[4] The first recorded mention of Curtea dates from 1597 (Kurthe), when it belonged to Marzsina District, Hunyad County.

[4] A Turkish possession by 1658, Curtea was a place of refuge for Transylvanian nemes (small and medium nobles) in conflict with the Hungarian royal house.

[6] In Marsigli's notes from 1690–1700 it was called Kortya and belonged to Facset District, and in the 1717 census it appears as inhabited, with 50 houses.

[8] By religion, most inhabitants are Orthodox (80.64%), but there are also minorities of Pentecostals (12.07%), Baptists (2.1%) and Adventists (1.59%).
