Orțișoara (Comuna Orţişoara)
Orțișoara (until 1925 Cocota; Orczydorf; Orczyfalva; Кокода) is a commune in Timiș County, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Călacea, Cornești, Orțișoara (commune seat) and Seceani.
Orțișoara is located in the northern part of Timiș County, about 24 km from Timișoara. The commune's area falls within the Piedmont Plain of Vinga, part of the Tisa Plain. This high plain, fragmented by piedmont valleys and numerous crevices, allows the subdivision of the area into three sectors:
* the Seceani sector, which has the highest altitude in the Vinga Piedmont Plain (187.7 m at the Luda Bara point), exhibits fairly narrow plateaus, fragmented by valley 40–80 m deep and 20–70 m wide, with slopes in general accentuated;
* the Orțișoara–Vinga sector, with an altitude between 150 and 170 m, has a more attenuated relief energy than the previous sector, wider plateaus and lower slopes;
* the Călacea–Bărăteaz–Satchinez sector, with an altitude between 100 and 130 m, is the lowest portion that makes, starting from the western part of Călacea, the very smooth passage to the low plain, with very wide plateaus and a small fragmentation of the land.
