Turda Salt Mine

Sources of salt in Turda are more than 13 million years old, have a median depth of 250 meters (reaching 1200 meters in some places) and weigh more than 38 billion tons.

Exploitation of salt began in the roman period. At the beginning of the 18th century the salt mines of Turda were the most important in Transylvania. The salt was mined manually.


Franz Jozef Gallery, Rudolf Mine (80m long, 50m wide, 40m tall), Teresa Mine (112m tall), the Ghizela room, and the Altar room all represent the mystery of the Turda Salt Mine!
