Reșița (pronounced [ˈreʃit͡sa] ⓘ; German: Reschitz; Hungarian: Resicabánya; Croatian: Ričica; Czech: Rešice; Serbian: Решица/Rešica; Turkish: Reşçe) is a city in western Romania and the capital of Caraș-Severin County.

It administers six villages: Câlnic (Kölnök), Cuptoare (Kuptore), Doman (Domány), Moniom (Monyó), Secu (Székul; Sekul) and Țerova (Krassócser).

A much more plausibile version, according to Iorgu Iordan, would be that the name is actually coming from a Slavic word: people living in the neighbouring village of Carașova 15  km away, referring to this place, that in those days was a similar village to theirs, as being "u rečice" (at the creek).

Archaeological research found traces of habitation going back to the Neolithic, Dacian and Roman eras.

Reșița Montană was at first inhabited by Romanians, [dubious – discuss] [need quotation to verify] and later, in 1776, 70 German families settled there.

Between 1880 and 1941, Germans were the dominant population in the city, with as many as 12,096 residing there in 1941, as opposed to 9,453 Romanians, and 1,861 Hungarians living there in that year.

Between 1910 and 1925, Reșița had the status of a rural area, and in 1925, it was declared a town thanks to its development into a powerful industrial location in modern Romania.

An important point of attraction located in the City Centre is the impressive kinetic fountain designed by Constantin Lucaci, built in the communist era.

There are also important cultural points in Reșița that have been renewed in 2006, including the Concrete School (Școala de Beton), Downtown, and the Polyvalent Hall (Sala Polivalentă).

The economy of Reșița has faced a drawback since 1989, but began recovering as a result of increasing foreign and domestic investment, largely in industry.

Reșița's public transport relies on 6 bus lines and was operated by the now defunct Prescom company.

In 2008, the new mayor announced his intention to decommission all trams and replace them with modern buses complying with EU standards.

Externally Reșița is connected by national roads to Caransebeș (continued to Bucharest) and to Timișoara.
