Topic: Turda


  
  Turda Salt Mine
Turda's salt deposit has been known and exploited by ancient times, but it was put into systematic operation of the deposit, by underground mining work, during the Roman conquest in Dacia.
During the 13 century, Turda's salt mine is mentioned in official documents at the 1st of May 1271, when the mine was offered to the Catholic Church's Transilvanian leaders.
Towards the end of the 17 century and the beginning of the 18 century, the mining in Transilvania revigorates due to some initiatives of the Royal Court in Viena meant to encourage the economy of the province.
