Castrul roman Potaissa
Fortified Roman military camp founded in 126 AD. Nowadays only foundations of the buildings remain
Salina Turda
Nowadays it's used as an amusement park and tourist attraction, because mining activity was terminated. Inside, the main attraction is a hall 85 meters tall, where you can have a ride on Ferris wheel, play mini-golf or table tennis, rent a boat, and buy souvenirs. Other mine chambers are available and worth visiting, for example, Iosif mine, that generates powerful echoes up to 20 times. Those visits to mines provide little information about mining activities but focuses mainly on entertainment and family day out. Make sure to dress warmly as the temperature inside is constantly about 10 °C.
