Quarters
The origins:
Before 1848, Oradea (Vrad, in Hungarian) was made up of 4 separate town: Vrad-jvros (Villa Nova, former vicus Zombathely), Vrad-Olaszi (Villa Latinorum Varadiensium), Vrad-Velence (vicus Venetia), Vrad-Vralja (civitas Waradiensis). The names vicus Venetia and Villa Latinorum, Vicus Bolognia, Vicus Padua and others come from French, Walloon, and Italian inhabitants settled in the 13th century.
