Baia de Aramă is a small Romanian town located in the Wallachian county of Mehedinţi with a population of 5,724. The Brebina River runs through the town. Some Dacian ruins can be found in the town.
The name of the town means "copper mine", suggesting that Baia de Aramă was once a strong copper mining town, however over the years many of the mines in the town have closed leaving roughly half the town unemployed.
