Băilești combines the measured pace of a provincial town with the working landscape of southern Oltenia in a way that reflects its position on the Băilești Plain, part of the Romanian Plain. Broad cultivated fields and low horizons define this area of Dolj County, in Romania’s south-west. The town is closely associated with Amza Pellea, the celebrated Romanian actor who was born here in 1931. His comic character Nea Mărin, an outspoken Oltenian countryman, brought Băilești’s name to audiences across the country, and his former home is preserved as a memorial house.
