Lipova has served as a market town in the Mureș Valley since the Middle Ages. The town stands on the Mureș in western Romania, where the river passes between the foothills of the Zarand Mountains and the lowlands of Arad County. Across the water, the ruins of Șoimoș Fortress occupy a hill above the valley; this medieval stronghold recalls the strategic importance of the route between Transylvania and the Pannonian Plain. Lipova also includes Radna, home to the 18th-century Baroque Basilica of Maria Radna, a long-established Roman Catholic pilgrimage church.
