Salina Turda

Salina Turda is, without a doubt, the most famous destination for tourists visiting Turda. This mine dates from the seventeenth century. The exploitation of salt in Turda has been a determining element for the prosperous evolution of the city from the pre-Roman period to the present. Salda Turda, which was one of the most important salines in Transylvania at the beginning of the year, begins to decline after 1840, due to the increasing competition of the salt from Ocna Mureş, reaching the role of a reserve.

Safe archaeological evidence of the salt exploitation in Durgău-Turda exists from the pre-Roman period, a fact underlined by the presence in the immediate vicinity of the salt deposits, each time, of a Roman fortification. The Roman fortified town of Potaissa defended the salt exploitation in Turda.
