Slatina lies along the Olt River in southern Romania, where the gently rolling terrain of Oltenia opens into the river valley. As the seat of Olt County, it serves as an administrative and commercial centre for the surrounding region. The city is closely linked to Eugène Ionesco, the Romanian-born playwright associated with the Theatre of the Absurd, who was born here in 1909. Industry is equally central to modern Slatina, notably through the major aluminium producer ALRO.
