Ribița

Ribița (Hungarian: Ribice, German: Kellerdorf) is a commune in Hunedoara County, Transylvania, Romania.

It is composed of six villages: Crișan (formerly Vaca; Váka), Dumbrava de Jos (Alsózsunk), Dumbrava de Sus (Felsőzsunk), Ribicioara (Ribicsora), Ribița, and Uibărești (Újbáresd).

It lies on the banks of the river Ribița, which discharges into the Crișul Alb at the southern edge of the commune.

Just 3 km (2 mi) south of Ribița, on the other side of the Crișul Alb River, pass the European route E79 and the CFR main line 200, which runs from Brașov to Arad and on to the Hungarian border.

Located in the eponymous village, the monastery fell into disuse in the late 18th century, but was rebuilt in 1992.
