The Monograph of the Valea Măriei Baths from Vama Oaş

Summary

This Monograph contains a detailed description of the Baths. The work is base on many documents and pictures, most of them historical, discovered after intense investigations in the publications edited throughtout the century.

After a hard work of research I discovered references about the watering resorts spread all over Komania, and among them there are mentioned Valea Măriei Baths from Varna.

Of a great importance were the pieces of information gathered from the old people of the village, who, having a fresh memory, told me pages from the local history, some heardfrom theirforefathers and others they lived through.

In the Monograph the great damages of the resort during the Second World War are also related. These damages constituted an overcast shadow in the region’s history. After the returning of the soldiers and prisoners from the Second World War, thy brought with them the hate against the oppressors and they distroyed the Baths along with the noblemen houses.

All these are described in detail in this work which contains four chapters finishing with a piece of realfolklore from the village of Vama, Oaş Tand, told by people who lived and worked at Valea Măriei Baths.
