Turda Salt Mine

Discover the enchanting Turda Salt Mine, a treasure buried in the heart of Transylvania with a history stretching back to the Middle Ages. This spectacular site, operational for centuries, has been an essential source of salt, playing a critical role in the economy and daily life of the region.

Over time, the mine's vast chambers and corridors have been carved out by hand, creating an underground cathedral of salt. Its rich history and the extraordinary effort it took to extract this "white gold" make the Turda Salt Mine a living museum.

The Turda salt mine is now a veritable history museum of salt mining. The excellent state of preservation of mining and machinery used to transport salt, together with the cautious work carried out for preparing the mine to become a tourist attraction, have made history and legend meet harmoniously here.
