A GLIMPSE INTO HISTORY
The salt deposits of Salina Turda have been a significant part of the region's heritage since ancient times. With a depth of 120 m and spanning over 27 square miles, the mine is a testament to the centuries of extraction activity that began in the pre-Roman era. These impressive salt deposits were excavated by hand without the aid of machinery or explosives, making it one of the main salt deposits in the entire region.
A JOURNEY THROUGH TIME
As you descend into the depths of Salina Turda, you will be transported back in time. The mine's tunnels, dug up to 30 m deep, served as anti-aircraft shelters during war periods. Today, they stand as a living testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the past. The mining museum has preserved its historical significance and offers visitors a unique glimpse into the lives of those who toiled within its walls.
