The paper also refers to the "milling" site from Rudăria, now Eftimie Murgu, which has a history of over 150 years.This analysis is part of the research of authors in the area that spanned a period of 3 years, and has materialized, in addition to research reports and scientific papers with a book called "Almaj of yesterday, today and tomorrow”, this being a synthesis of all the elements of history, population, culture, language, economy, agriculture and sustainable rural development of the area. The results allow us to say that Almaj, a welldefined geographical, historical and administrative entity, has a rich history, but today, the culture and art of Almaj, as well as everything that means tradition and patriarchal life in the area, is, unfortunately,in a state of languishing, is in oblivion.
